Viewing ofReference Material
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
Alice Springs now occupies the land the Arrernte people call Mparntwe - the place where the caterpillar beings originated and where mountain ranges were formed by wild-dog fights: with places for women and places for men, and places of broken promises by impatient and disbelieving developers. An awareness of even a little of this living topography enhances the aesthetic appreciation of the beauty of the Mparntwe environment, and creates a feeling of empathy with the culture of the Arrernte custodians.
