Faith Ringgold Figurative Prints
American, 1930-2024
Prolific American artist Faith Ringgold long championed civil rights and women’s rights through her work, which spans media from oils to textiles. Over the course of her career, she received numerous accolades, including two National Endowment for the Arts awards, one each in sculpture and painting, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (1987) and more than 20 honorary doctorate degrees.
Born Faith Willi Jones in Harlem, New York, Ringgold grew up surrounded by creativity. She was raised by a fashion-designer mother and a minister father who was a talented storyteller during the peak of the Harlem Renaissance. She earned both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in visual art from the City College of New York, in 1955 and 1959, respectively.
In the 1960s, Ringgold’s paintings took a decidedly political bent, supporting the civil rights movement; she protested the lack of work by Black and female artists in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art, both in New York City. She also cofounded Where We At, a collective of Black female artists. By the 1970s, Ringgold had moved away from painting and on to textiles, sculpture and performance art.
Ringgold created masks of painted canvas inspired by wooden masks made by the Dan peoples of Liberia — also to promote the work of women in art — as well as acrylic works that combined the style of Tibetan thangkas, or silk paintings, with African quilting techniques. This led to her collaborating with her mother in the 1980s for the development of her iconic story quilts, for which Ringgold is perhaps best known.
Ringgold's work can be found in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, all in New York, as well as the Baltimore Museum of Art and many more.

Dear Selma, Every Time I See a Dime, I Think of You - framed print w/ red & blue
By Faith Ringgold
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
Faith Ringgold created "Dear Selma..." to honor the Black artist, Selma Burke (1900-1995), who sculpted the original portrait bust of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which was later used on the US dime. She was never credited for her artistic contribution. Ringgold's print acknowledges this injustice in her printed inscription on her print:
"Dear Selma, Every time I see a dime I think you. In 1944 when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt posed for your portrait plaque of him, little did you know this masterful relief profile would show up without attribution, in the dime in 1945 -- for all the world to see." Faith Ringgold 11/13/10.
"Dear Selma..." is a rare print -- #21/65. It is hand signed, numbered, dated, and inscribed; and is embossed with printer's stamp (Raven Fine Art Editions.) It is professionally framed in a black stained wooden dovetailed frame, and floated on archival (acid free) mat board, under glass, with spacers. It is in pristine condition. The print itself measures 30" x 22" and it framed to 35" x 27.25" x 2".
Selma Burke (b. Mooresville, NC; D. New Hope, PA) was an African-American sculptor, educated at what is now Winston-Salem State University and trained as a nurse at St. Agnes Hospital Nursing School in Raleigh, NC. Burke moved to New York City and became inspired by the Harlem Renaissance movement emerging around her, and began to focus on art. In 1938, she studied with Aristide Maillol and Henri Matisse in Europe after earning both Rosenwald and Boehler Foundation Fellowships. After completing an MFA at Columbia University in 1941, Burke began to teach art, first at the Harlem Community Art Center and later at schools she founded in New York and Pittsburgh.
African-American artist Faith Ringgold earned a bachelor’s degree from City College of the City University of New York in 1955. She then taught art in New York City public schools and worked on a master’s degree at City College, which she completed in 1959. Ringgold’s first solo gallery shows were held in 1967 and 1970 at the cooperative Spectrum Gallery, New York. Retrospectives of her work have been organized by Rutgers University, New Brunswick (1973), the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York (1984), and the Fine Arts Museum of Long Island, Hempstead (1990). Ringgold’s work has been included in numerous exhibitions devoted to political art, women’s art, contemporary quilts, and African-American art, as well as in the Whitney Biennial (1985). Her achievements as an artist, teacher, and activist have been recognized with numerous honors, including National Endowment for the Arts awards in sculpture (1978) and painting (1989), a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (1987), and sixteen honorary doctorates.
