"Far from treating Aboriginal art as an aesthetic fetish, this eye-opening show sees it as part of a living and enduring civilisation with a unique understanding of humanity's place in nature."

(Jonathan Jones, The Guardian - on the exhibition Indigenous Australia)

To coincide with the British Museum's Indigenous Australia: Enduring Civilisation, Whitford Fine Art is delighted to present an exhibition on internationally acclaimed Australian Aboriginal contemporary painters.

Rarely seen works by Christine Yukenbarri (b.1977) are featured alongside those of her father Helicopter Tjungurrayi and late mother Lucy Yukenbarri in a show that celebrates the spirit of an artistic tradition which spans millennia and now receives its long overdue recognition in the international art scene.
