EMILY KAM KNGWARRAY (1909-1996) My Country, 1995 Acrylic paint on linen 83 x 78 cm Synthetic polymer paint on linen 32 5/8 x 30 3/4 in. Provenance Mbantua Gallery, Alice Springs (NT) Aboriginal Gallery of Dreamings Private collection, Germany Accompanied by a photograph of the artist having just completed the work. Notes Emily Kam Kngwarray holds several sales records: - In 2017, her major work Earth's Creation I (1994) sold for AUD 2.1 million, a record for an Australian artist. - Her works produced between 1994 and 1996, considered to be her most accomplished period, regularly fetch six-figure prices at international auctions. A major retrospective of her work is planned for London's Tate Modern in July 2025, which should further increase interest in her work. This 1995 work is an important piece from the artist's late period. It combines spiritual power with gestural sophistication, conveying Emily's deep connection to her land and to Dreaming through a visual language that transcends cultural boundaries. It represents a rare opportunity for collectors and institutions to acquire a museum-quality work by an artist who is now recognised as a major figure in contemporary art worldwide.
