SIGNIFICANT 2023 – Part I | Melbourne

This year, our most highly anticipated annual exhibition, Significant, will be presented in two parts to showcase the breadth of the finest of modern and contemporary Australian First Nations art.

Part I will feature works of impeccable provenance from the first ten years from the birth of the Western Desert art movement in Papunya. Alongside one of the most significant recent painting discoveries by protagonist Kaapa Mbitjana Tjampitjinpa - Mikantji and Tywerl, 1971 - this select group of works features other important paintings by many of the movement's founding artists, such as Old Walter Tjampitjinpa, Anatjari Tjakamarra and Timmy Payungka Tjapangati.
