This year’s annual exhibition REVERENCE will be in our new gallery in Sydney. We are honoured to be entrusted with this exceptional body of work, a fitting collection for this important inaugural exhibition as we celebrate the opening of a new, permanent space in New South Wales. The twenty-one works within this exhibition are the culmination of almost twelve months of attaining a refined selection of consigned works. Every work has been handpicked for its exceptional quality and to highlight each of the stylistic shifts that have occurred throughout the trajectory of this significant movement. We open with Sonia Kurarra’s beautifully resolved picture Martuwarra 2013 – a fabulous revelation with which to begin this boutique offering. The collection combines highly contemporary and expressive works alongside exceptional early works on wood and bark, integrating the time periods within the genre, and in turn expanding knowledge within our market and inviting a broader engagement. Uta Uta Tjangala’s monumental early board Untitled – Yina at Tilirangaranya 1972 is undisputably one of this artist’s masterpieces and is one of the many focal points of our exhibition. Originally acquired by the present owner’s family from the important early exhibition Warlpiri and Pintupi Art, held at the Barossa Arts Festival in 1973, it is an outstanding recent discovery. Also of particular note is Emily Kam Kngwarray’s Untitled 1992. Additionally, an exceedingly rare nineteenth century sculptured hooked boomerang is the only example of this style of boomerang to have ever been offered for sale. Having first appeared at a Sotheby’s auction in 2009, it is on offer once again some fifteen years later. We are also extremely excited to present one of Bill Whiskey’s last remaining large scale works to still remain in private hands. This monumental picture in size, possesses the soothing and healing qualities that we often see in the work of this Western Desert master.

This popular annual event sees the gallery space take on an emporium type atmosphere, exhibiting a wide range of paintings, hand made ceramics, objects and licensed merchandise gift lines, returning royalties to artists.
