Provenance: Swann Galleries, New York, 2021. Gloria Carter Spann (1926-1990) was one of President Jimmy Carter's sisters, known to the family as Gogo. During the Carter Presidency, she tried to maintain a low profile. She became one of the first women inducted into the Harley Davidson 100,000 Mile Club, and she was named the Most Outstanding Female Motorcyclist of 1978. In 1989 she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, like many members of the Carter family. She died in 1990, the last surviving sibling of former President Carter.
