Abstract

Lauraine Diggins has been involved in the Australian fine art market since 1974. Throughout her commercial gallery enterprise she cultivated many strong relationships with Australian Indigenous communities and in 1989 curated the exhibition A Myriad of Dreaming: Twentieth Century Aboriginal Art. An Individual Perspective is drawn from the private collection of contemporary Indigenous artwork developed by Lauraine Diggins over many years and includes well known names in Indigenous art such as Emily Kam Kngwarrey, Kathleen Ngal and Rover Thomas.
