Summary
The exhibition presents "significant works produced by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from the late 1800s through to today, drawn exclusively from the NGA’s extensive collection. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art collection at the NGA is the largest in the world and includes comprehensive collections of works by many of the most significant Indigenous artists in Australia. From rare, historical drawings to the dynamic Desert Painting movement and contemporary urban Aboriginal art, these works are a testament to the expertise, rich cultural knowledge and ingenuity of their creators. ... The works in this exhibition take on many forms, including paintings on canvas and bark, weaving and sculpture, new media, prints and photography." --Publisher's website.
