The R.C. Gorman Navajo Velvet lighted acrylic tile gives the artist’s striking night scene an illuminated stage. A seated woman in a flowing crimson dress rests one arm on a raised knee, her head lifted toward a deep blue sky scattered with stars, the circular accents of her belt catching the light against the red fabric. The artwork is printed on a clear panel that sits in a display base, with a power cord extending from the base.
Lit from below, the panel brings out the contrast between the warm crimson dress and the midnight-blue sky, making the piece a natural focal point on desks, shelves, side tables, and gallery-inspired arrangements. As merchandise, it reproduces Gorman’s imagery on an acrylic panel rather than serving as an original artwork.
Gift it to collectors of Southwestern art, pair it with the matching Navajo Velvet tumbler and tote from the gallery’s gift collection, or give a favorite Gorman fan two ways to enjoy the same beloved image.
