Bisbee

Bisbee, a 1988 R.C. Gorman lithograph, is one of the artist’s most beloved turquoise-themed compositions. A seated Navajo woman reclines in a voluminous fuchsia-pink skirt over a pale lavender blouse, strands of chunky Bisbee-style turquoise nuggets draped across her chest, trailing from her lap, and coiled beside a black-and-white painted Acoma pot. The sunset horizon behind her glows in bands of peach, blush, cornflower blue, and lilac, giving the piece a magical twilight atmosphere. Named for the famous Arizona turquoise mining town, this print celebrates Southwestern jewelry heritage through Gorman’s signature lush color blocking. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Bisbee is a centerpiece-caliber print for collectors of Gorman turquoise imagery, Southwest jewelry-themed art, and museum-quality Navajo fine art lithographs.
