Esta St II

Esta, State II, 1981 Serigraph by R.C. Gorman. This magnificent variant of Esta retains the iconic seated figure and her stunning traditional blanket with its red, cream, and dark blue striped and geometric patterns honoring Navajo textile heritage. However, State II reimagines the background in a cool periwinkle blue that creates a distinctly different mood from State I’s warmer mauve. The blanket’s geometric diamond and cross patterns remain the same, along with the woman’s composed seated pose. The cooler blue background adds visual harmony with the blue tones in the textile pattern. Essential for collectors studying Gorman’s serial serigraph work and those appreciating subtle chromatic variations.
