Spider Woman

Spider Woman, 1976, R.C. Gorman lithograph. A striking composition depicting a kneeling figure in a cool seafoam or sage green wrap, engaged in displaying or working with luminous white fabric or weaving. The gentle palette of greens, whites, and cream tones evokes the meditative craft of weaving. The work references the Navajo Spider Woman tradition, honoring the spiritual origins of weaving arts. The figure’s focused posture conveys concentration and cultural purpose. Gorman captures both the physical and spiritual dimensions of traditional craft. A significant work for collectors of Gorman lithographs, Southwest fine art, Native American weaving traditions, and contemporary Native American art.
