R.C. Gorman created Shonto in 1998 in an edition of 50 — a ceramic from the gallery’s collection. R.C. Gorman’s ceramics carry his painter’s eye into fired clay — each piece shaped and finished as a studio original rather than a mass-produced ware.
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. Ceramic works display beautifully on shelves, consoles, and curated wall groupings, bringing handmade warmth to a room. It suits collections focused on ceramic 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.
