Art students and others conducting research are welcome to make an appointment with us to view the works listed in the adjacent table.
It is also recommended for Europeans to use the online search system at KVK (Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog), in which all German and many European scholarly libraries list their available references. Sometimes the works are available for loan.
A list of further references about Australian art, which however are not yet in our reference collection, is also maintained and continually extended.

Cover Text
Our Way: Contemporary Aboriginal Art from Lockhart River introduces the unique art of a group of young Aboriginal artists from far north Queenslands Lockhart River community. Lockhart River is Australias only remote youth-driven Aboriginal art initiative, and the rise to national and international recognition of a number of these artists is a remarkable chapter in Australias art history. Their art is about Sandbeach culture and community and its spectacular wilderness environment in Cape York Peninsula. But it is also a worldly art of the twenty-first century that shows the global scope of Aboriginal cultural expression today. Lockhart River art is always about the community, but each artist approaches this communal identity in distinctive and innovative ways. Their art is a beguiling insight into how individuality and community coexist in the contemporary life of Aboriginal people. Our Way brings all of this extraordinary art together in the one place for the first time.
