Description:D + H's INTRODUCTION:
Thirty years ago, ‘Friendly Country, Friendly People’ was developed as a national touring exhibition by Araluen Arts Centre. The Cbus Collection of Australian Art acquired the entire exhibition of 26 paintings.
Papunya Tula Art Pty Ltd and the Western Desert art it showcases is central to any discussion about the development and understanding of contemporary Aboriginal art. This single-lot online auction presents a rare opportunity to view a moment in time, and provides a chance to reflect that today, Aboriginal art comes in many genres, media and from many voices.
The sale features artworks by Alison Anderson Nampitjinpa, Jack Tjupurrula, Pansy Napangati, Johnny W. Tjupurrula, Sandra Nampitjinpa, Hilary Tjapaltjarri, Cameron Tjapaltjarri, Benny Tjapaltjarri, George Ward Tjungurrayi, Uta Uta Tjangala, George Tjapaltjarri, Narpula Scobie Napurrula, Shorty Jackson Tjampitjinpa, Tony Tjakamarra, Timmy Payungka Tjapangati, John John Bennett Tjapangati, George Tjapanangka, George Tjungurrayi, Yal Yal Gibbs Tjunguarrayi, Freddy West Tjakamarra, Kanya Tjapangati, George Yapa Tjangala, Anatjari Tjampitjinpa.
Importantly, the 'Friendly Country, Friendly People' collection denotes the first significant touring exhibition and collection to include women painters from Papunya Tula as artists in their own right, rather than assisting the male spouses or relatives. Paintings by renowned Papunya Tula painter Pansy Napangardi together with Narpula Scobie Napurrula, Sandra Nampitjinpa and Alison Anderson Nampitjinpa, who had begun painting in the preceding years, are exhibited alongside the more established male painters from Kintore and Kiwirrkurra.
