Contemporary Aboriginal Painting From Australia June 13, 2010

An installation of 14 bold and colorful paintings created by contemporary Aboriginal Australian artists will be on view. Drawn from a U. S. private collection, 'Contemporary Aboriginal Painting from Australia' will provide an introduction to Aboriginal painting, which has become Australia's most celebrated contemporary art movement and has attained prominence within the international art world. The installation will present works created primarily over the past decade by artists from the central desert, where the contemporary painting movement began, and from adjoining regions, to which the movement spread.
