Sanii Neigeer (Avalon), an R.C. Gorman oil pastel, is catalogued among the gallery’s fine works. Oil pastel was Gorman’s most personal medium — worked directly by hand, with the velvety surface and living line that define his original works on paper.
Like the rest of the gallery’s holdings, this work reflects Gorman’s devotion to the Native American women and Southwest landscapes that made his name. Works on paper are best framed under glass, where the pastel surface keeps its full depth of color. It suits collections focused on oil pastel work by R.C. Gorman and makes a grounded acquisition for collectors of Southwestern art and Native American fine art.
Contact the gallery with any questions about this work; the team is glad to share additional documentation on request.
