A curated collection of 93 works by well-respected Indigenous artists such as Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Rover Joolama Thomas, and Lin Onus will be up for auction at the Art Leven gallery, which specialises in First Nations art.
The collection will feature a range of mediums, from traditional bark paintings and sculptures to contemporary works like limited edition prints and photographs.
The auction on 12 November, which will be held at the gallery’s Redfern location, aims to celebrate the diversity and richness of Indigenous art across Australia.
A particular auction highlight is an early Papunya board painting attributed to Timmy Payungka Tjapangati. This rare piece, created during a pivotal period in Indigenous art history, is expected to attract significant interest from collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Art Leven Gallery Director Mirri Leven expressed pride in the gallery’s continued commitment to promoting Indigenous art and culture. The auction, she said, reflects the gallery’s dedication to showcasing the work of both established and emerging artists.
On 7 November, a gala preview will take place before the auction, giving guests an exclusive chance to see the collection.
