NYU'S Grey Art Gallery Icons of the Desert: Early Paintings From Papunya
11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Student Led Tours at 1:00 AM and 3:00 PM
In 1971, at a government-established Aboriginal relief camp in the Central Australian desert, a Sydney school teacher provided a group of ranking Aboriginal men with the tools and the encouragement to paint. The resulting works became the first paintings ever to systematically transfer the imagery of their culture to a permanent surface. This landmark exhibition is the first to focus on this founding moment, presenting some of the finest examples from the period. Don't miss the opportunity to see this one-of-a-kind exhibit.
