Klappentext

This unique and thoroughly researched dictionary contains detailed profiles of over 500 Western Desert artists and will be invaluable to students, gallery administrators and private collectors interested in contemporary Aboriginal art. During the 1970s the Papunya Tula Artists were the best known group of Aboriginal artists but since then work from Yuendumu, Napperby, Mt Allen, Lajamanu, Ernabella, Utopia and Balgo Hills has also gained recognition. This dictionary includes listings not only for individual artists by family name but also annotates the artists as members of specific Aboriginal communities and identifies their Jukurrpa (Dreamings).
