In 1971 a mural was painted by a group of senior men on the blank wall of the school building at Papunya, a small aboriginal community west of Alice Springs. This was the beginning of a painting movement that transformed the Australian art world.
Papunya Tula Artists Pty Ltd, founded in 1972, is celebrating its 40-year anniversary. In this group show, young and old, emerging and established artists’ works hang side by side, indicating the great range of extraordinary images, now produced in the Western Desert communities of Kintore and Kiwirrkura.
