Australian Aboriginal art – ‘the oldest surviving culture in the world’

Financial Times
 
1.28.2022

2022 is the year of First Nations art. It’s an acclaim that’s long overdue, say fans like Steve Martin

The Financial Times article “In Praise of Aboriginal Art” explores the growing recognition of Australian Aboriginal art in the global contemporary art scene, highlighting its cultural depth and artistic innovation. Actor and collector Steve Martin recalls his discovery of Aboriginal desert painting, which led him to appreciate the profound philosophy of “Country” that underpins much of the work. Once overlooked, Aboriginal art is now gaining momentum with major exhibitions at institutions like the Tate Modern and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as record-breaking sales at Sotheby’s. Artists such as Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Daniel Walbidi, and Angelina Pwerle are spotlighted for their unique visions rooted in ancestral traditions, yet resonating with contemporary audiences. The article emphasizes that beyond its visual brilliance, Aboriginal art reflects the world’s oldest surviving culture and offers timeless lessons about sustainability, identity, and connection to land.

PLEASE note that the vast majority of the AGOD / EBEScontemporary collection (the world's biggest commercial indigenous / aboriginal art gallery : was purchased directly from the artists decades ago. The vast majority of the artists have since deceased and this art has never left the collection. So you can be guaranteed of the quality : all come with the standard legal certificale / title. Prices are low for the fact that we own all and we sell from our home / premises. SO = you will not pay the normal 20% buyers premium from an auction house nor the 50% art gallery commission. AND we will cover all costs of delivery (and all come framed : any questions? God Bless - indigenous art is SPECIAL & this collection - Biggest and Best in the world = we think. We also conclude The Emily Wall is the most important Australian painting = agreed?
