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
"Tjukurrtjanu: Origins of Western Desert Art" celebrates the work of twenty of the original artists who began painting at Papunya forty years ago. The Papunya artists bold initial experiments, in committing ceremonial designs that are tjukurrtjanu (from the Dreaming) onto board, marked the beginning of a modern painting movement that would change the face of Australian art forever.
Drawing on the expertise of leading anthropologists, art historians and field officers, Tjukurrtjanu offers insightful perspectives on the artists and the iconography of their complex and intimate paintings – the first masterpieces of Western Desert art.
