R.C. Gorman created Two Women in 1987 in an edition of 150 — a papercast from the gallery’s collection. 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. A strong addition to collections of Native American fine art, papercast work, and the art of the Southwest.
Contact the gallery with any questions about this work; the team is glad to share additional documentation on request.
