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
As Australia celebrates forty years of contemporary desert painting, this work casts new light on the contribution of Aboriginal women to this movement in its mythic, artistic and political dimensions. A selection of over eighty works by Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Judy Watson Napangardi, Eubena Yupinya Nampitjin or Makinti Napanangka from the collection of Arnaud Serval offers insight into a fascinating pictorial heritage unknown to the general public.
