Aranda Aboriginal Gallery
Welcome to Aranda Aboriginal Art Adam Knight Curator of Aranda Aboriginal Art has been involved with Aboriginal people since childhood and a active Aboriginal Art dealer since the early 1990’s. During that time it has been a privilege for our staff to be able to build personal relationships with leading and emerging Aboriginal Artists and to develop an understanding of the expression of their culture through extraordinary artworks.
Our first Gallery was opened in regional Victoria in 1995 by the Treasurer and Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, The Honourable Ralph Willis, and we were proud to have in attendance at that opening such luminaries as (the late) Rover Thomas and Queenie McKenzie. Our friendship with perhaps the most noted artist of his era, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, extended over many years and continues with his children and grandchildren today. Aranda Aboriginal Art represents the finest contemporary pieces with the unique ability to communicate the historical and cultural importance of each indigenous piece. All art is sourced directly from Aboriginal Community Art Centres and some cases directly from independant artists, which involves visits to remote outback Australia where entry to Aboriginal land is by invitation only, all paintings are represented by complete documented and authenticated provenance. Aranda Aboriginal Art has wholesaled paintings to some of Australia’s largest Galleries and provided valuations to leading Australian Auction Houses. The paintings available include works by George Ward Tjungurrayi, Naata Nungurrayi, Minnie Pwerle, Rover Thomas, Queenie McKenzie, Jack Britten, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Kathleen Petyarre, Gloria Petyarre, Walala Tjapaltjarri, Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa and many more.
