Shiprock

Shiprock, a 2001 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, depicts a Navajo woman standing in spiritual communion with the landscape, her head tilted back as she gazes toward the heavens. She wears a vibrant red top and lavender skirt, draped with a traditional Navajo blanket featuring bold red and white geometric striping. Behind her rises the silhouette of the iconic Shiprock mesa, while radiating golden rays pierce through a dramatic sunset sky that transitions from yellow to pink to pale blue. The figure’s hand rests on her waist in a pose of grace and stature. A magnificent acquisition for collectors of Gorman lithographs, Southwest landscape art, and Navajo cultural imagery.
