Gala St I

Gala St I, a 2005 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, depicts a seated woman in profile, gracefully arranged on the composition’s diagonal. She wears a vibrant pink-purple jacket and flowing skirt that dominates the lower half, contrasted with a teal-blue beaded necklace that draws the eye. The warm, gradient background transitions from coral to pale cream, creating depth and intimacy around the figure. Gorman’s masterful use of warm and cool palettes captures both the fabric’s texture and the figure’s contemplative inner life. This state variation stands alongside its counterpart as one of Gorman’s most celebrated figure studies, ideal for collectors of limited-edition lithograph series and contemporary Navajo fine art.
