Kianna is a 1988 R.C. Gorman papercast from an edition of 150. Gorman’s papercasts build his imagery in layered, cast paper — a relief medium whose soft shadows give the work a gentle, sculptural depth.
The piece is catalogued by the gallery with the details shown above, and its imagery reflects the themes collectors associate with Gorman’s work — the draped figure, the desert light, and the quiet dignity of his subjects. Papercasts show to advantage under raking light, where the layered relief throws soft shadows across the surface. It suits collections focused on papercast work by R.C. Gorman and makes a grounded acquisition for collectors of Southwestern art and Native American fine art.
Questions about this piece — condition, framing, or display — are welcome; the gallery team is happy to help.
