R.C. Gorman created Rosa in 1980 in an edition of 1 — a bronze from the gallery’s collection. Cast bronze gave R.C. Gorman a way to give his beloved figures physical presence — the same sweeping forms of his drawings, rendered in metal and issued in limited editions.
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. Cast bronzes sit well on pedestals, mantels, and entry tables, where the piece can be walked around and enjoyed in the round. It suits collections focused on bronze work by R.C. Gorman and makes a grounded acquisition for collectors of Southwestern art and Native American fine art.
