We are delighted to return to TEFAF Maastricht this March 2026 with a presentation of thirteen exceptional masterpieces by Australia's most celebrated Indigenous artists.
Our presentation will comprise works from the 1970s through to the present day by many of the artists who shaped the trajectory of this dynamic art movement, that will showcase the remarkable depth, diversity and quality of Australian Indigenous art.
Major highlights include <i>Untitled - Winter Awelye</i> 1995 by Emily Kam Kngwarray (c. 1914–1996), one of Australia’s most recognised and renowned artists, whose recent, critically acclaimed, retrospective at Tate Modern attracted over 100,000 visitors, and three paintings by Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori (c. 1924–2015).
Gabori’s bold, gestural paintings have earned her international recognition and admiration. In 2022, Fondation Cartier, Paris staged her first major solo exhibition outside Australia, which toured to Triennale Milano in 2023. Her work also featured in the Venice Biennale central exhibition that same year and in June 2025, in Beneath the Reflections of the World, at Fondation Opale, in Switzerland.
The exhibition will also include a major work, <i>Notes to Basquiat</i> (911) by acclaimed contemporary artist, Gordon Bennett (1955-2014)—one in a series of works in which he engaged in a personal and visual dialogue with Jean–Michel Basquiat—and a striking painting by Kitty Kantilla (Kutuwulumi Purawarrumpatu) (c. 1928), one of the most significant Tiwi artists of her generation.
