Selections from Australia’s Western Desert


  • The National Arts Club 15 Gramercy Park South New York, NY, 10003 United States (map)

From the collection of Steve Martin and Anne Stringfield

The National Arts Club is honored to host this dynamic exhibition of contemporary Indigenous Australian painting from the remote regions of Central and Western Australia. The six large works that make up this exhibition all spring from thousands of years of tradition, disconnected and uninfluenced from the outside world. Distinct from outsider art and not defined by chance affinities with western contemporary abstract art, these paintings stand as stories and narratives infused with an intense connection to the local landscape. On view will be significant works by Bill Whiskey Tjapaltjarri, Timo Hogan, Carlene West, Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, and Doreen Reid Nakamarra. The National Arts Club is grateful to Mr. Martin for being so generous with his time, expertise, and enthusiasm during the planning of this exhibition.
