Abstract

An exhibition that surveys the development and artistic achievement of Indigenous artists. This exhibition traces the changes that have taken place in Indigenous art over the years, showing its diversity and capacity for innovation. The joint exhibition of more than 60 works has been assembled from the private collection of the Vice-Chancellor of Macquarie University, Professor Di Yerbury, and the University collection.

In addition to outstanding works in the traditional genres of Indigenous art, including major paintings by leading Papunya artists, the joint exhibition is unusually strong in displaying a range of well known works that carry a socio-political message by important contemporary artists from urban locations.[Gallery media]
