R.C. Gorman's 'Luminarias' — a 1996 pencil-signed lithograph on 8.5 × 11 paper, drawn from his late-career series engaging the New Mexican Christmas Eve tradition of paper-bag candles lining roads and rooftops. Gorman returned to the subject across multiple compositional approaches; this is the small-format edition piece, housed in its original R.C. Gorman Navajo Gallery envelope from the artist's primary-source distribution channel.
The work: Stone lithograph on 8.5 × 11 paper, 1996. Luminarias is a recurring subject in Gorman's late-career series — the New Mexican holiday-light tradition rendered in his signature seated-figure idiom.
The signature: Pencil-signed by R.C. Gorman in the lower margin; signature characteristics consistent with his 1990s authenticated examples.
The provenance: Original R.C. Gorman Navajo Gallery envelope included. The Scottsdale gallery was the artist's primary-source distribution channel; the envelope is the documentary signal that the piece moved through their authenticated workflow.
Condition: Very fine — paper clean, image vivid, signature crisp. Original glassine sleeve and gallery envelope both intact.
For collectors who want a Gorman small-format lithograph from his late-career thematic series with primary-source gallery provenance documented through the original distribution envelope.
Included: Lithograph plus original R.C. Gorman Navajo Gallery envelope; ships flat in archival sleeves.
