Navajo Woman St IX is the ninth and final state of R.C. Gorman’s monumental 1977 lithographic series, representing the culmination of an extended artistic meditation on Navajo identity, feminine grace, and printmaking mastery. The subject’s noble profile, dark hair with white wrappings, and turquoise earrings remain constant throughout the series, while this final state demonstrates Gorman’s complete command of tonal modeling, line work, and visual poetry. The sophisticated interplay of value, texture, and compositional restraint creates an image of timeless spiritual presence. This concluding state represents the fullest realization of Gorman’s vision and the apex of the series, making it essential for discerning collectors of fine art lithography and Native American cultural expression.
