About the Item

This is a printer’s proof of Groovin’ High, created by the esteemed artist and civil rights activist Faith Ringgold. Unlike the official edition, this proof is unsigned and not numbered, printed on heavy paper, making it an exceptional rarity above the standard edition. The original artwork, created in 1986, is an acrylic on canvas with a fabric border, embodying Ringgold’s distinctive style that blends narrative storytelling with textile traditions. Her work often incorporates elements of African American heritage, jazz culture, and personal history, reinforcing her deep connection to the Harlem Renaissance. Groovin’ High draws inspiration from Ringgold’s memories of Sunday afternoon dances at the legendary Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, a vibrant cultural epicenter known for its influence on jazz and social movements. The piece’s dynamic composition and bold, expressive colors capture the rhythm, movement, and spirit of the era, making it a compelling example of Ringgold’s ability to merge history, activism, and artistic innovation. This printer’s proof represents a unique artifact in Ringgold’s body of work, offering collectors and enthusiasts a glimpse into the production process of one of her celebrated compositions.
