Desert Country
An Art Gallery of South Australia travelling exhibition
Drawn from the extensive holdings of
Aboriginal art from the Art Gallery of South Australia’s pioneering
collection, Desert Country is the first exhibition to chart the
forty year evolution of the internationally acclaimed Australian desert
painting movement and reveal the unstoppable reaches of this remarkable
art phenomenon.
Beginning in
1971 with rare examples of the first experimental paintings by its
ground-breaking masters, Desert Country highlights the cultural
fluidity between the principal Aboriginal art producing regions of the
desert in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.
Featured artists include Albert Namatjira, Clifford Possum
Tjapaltjarri, Daisy Leura Nakamarra, Rover Thomas, and Utopia artists
Emily Kame Kngwarreye and Kathleen Petyarre.
