My mother country : Aboriginal dot painting : Emily Kame Kngwarreye works from private collections ; Pierre and Joëlle Clément Collection, Zug
2022
Book
The collection of Joëlle and Pierre Clément includes a careful selection of works by indigenous Australian painters. This catalogue by Kunsthaus Zug features 80 works by 50 artists from the collection, as well as paintings by Emily Kame Kngwarreye. The image and text contributions allow for an in-depth examination of the color-intensive, abstract painting and shed light on the diverse artistic positions of the different peoples and regions of Central Australia. With their "dot paintings," the painters translate their millennia-old culture between traditional mythology and postcolonial reality into fascinating images created for indigenous and international viewers. The publication brings together 50 painters, including established names such as Kathleen Petyarre and Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, as well as lesser-known positions. One focus is on the works of Emily Kame Kngwarreye.
