Sinopsis

Astronomical auction prices in the late 1990s first drew many people&rsquo,s attention to the phenomenon of the early Papunya boards, the thousand small painted panels created at the remote Northern Territory Aboriginal settlement of Papunya in 1971-72. Western Desert art expert Vivien Johnson looks at the controversies that surrounded the paintings at the time of their creation &ndash, and what they mean now to the artists&rsquo, descendants, the role of teacher Geoffrey Bardon, the depiction of sacred imagery, and the distant worlds of art auctions and international exhibitions. A gripping narrative work, this book is an important intervention in Australian art history.
