209597 Aigner, Katherine (ed.) Australia: The Vatican Mueums Indigenous Collection Edizioni Musei Vaticani, Citta del Vaticano, 2017. Quarto gatefold paperback; 395pp., colour & b&w illustrations. Minor wear only; near fine. The Australian collection at the Vatican mainly originates from two specific times: the establishment of New Norcia monastic community near Perth by Benedictine missionaries Rosendo Salvado and Joseph Serra in 1847, and the great exhibition held at the Vatican in 1925 when between the two world wars, Pope Pius XI asked missionaries around the world to ask the people to send objects to educate the European audience about their spiritual cultural and daily life. Objects have also been gifted to popes on their visits to Australia. The mid to late 1800s and ealy 1900s was a time of enormous change and upheaval for aboriginal people in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. They suffered from the aggressive impacts of pastoral land grabs, a rush for gold and the creation of pearling fleets. Vast tracts of land were being taken up by new settlers to farm sheep and cattle pushing Aboriginal people into isolated pockets of refuge. Changes to the traditional Indigenous homelands were rapid. In the context of these early years of violent frontier conflict and upheaval Yued people in the south west and Gwini and Kulari peoples in the east Kimberley displayed agency by choosing to engage (or not) with religious missions, and left objects with them as gifts of exchange. This catalogue has an emphasis on the cultural and spiritual life of the aforementioned peoples (and including works from the Tiwi Islands). It is an important and unique historical collection of inter-cultural engagement and dialogue. Click here to order $40

Minimal wear: slightly rubbed cover. Otherwise fine. With a focus on works depicting animals 'Menagerie' includes both well-known and emerging artists who share with us a huge variety of ideas and cultural knowledge, using techniques that combine traditional materials with contemporary applications. The range of artists include Vicki West from Tasmania who works with bull kelp; Badger Bates from Western NSW working with found objects; Marina Murdilnga from Maningrida working with twined pandanus fibre and Torres Strait Islander sculptor, Dennis Nona who works in bronze and aluminium casting. These expressions of Aboriginal identity and ongoing connections to country highlight the sophistication and complexity of the art and culture of Australia's indigenous peoples. Co-curator and artist, Wiradjuri woman, Nicole Foreshew, is interested in the exchange between objects and people as well as the relationships between art and museum institutions. "I am interested in the different modes of ethnographic research: how artefacts or objects are collected and how it is implied that objects are used; how they have been made and - of most interest - who made them. This exhibition Menagerie was an opportunity for me to extend my interest in that conversation". Click here to order $30

Minor wear; scattered spotting to half-title and title pages with text block edges spotted. Dustwrapper mildly rubbed and slightly edgeworn; now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good. Yirawala was a man of high ritual status and authority. He sought to promote an appreciation of his Kuninjku culture among Europeans in order to protect Kuninjku heritage and land. He was a prolific and highly influential artist who used his ceremonial authority to introduce a number of innovations in western Arnhem Land bark painting. Chief among these was his ability to render countless variations on rarrk clan patterns to infuse his subjects with ancestral power. His work possesses a strange intricate beauty and warm compositions in white, black, brown, ochre and red. Yirawala was raised in the Marrkolidjban region on the Liverpool River before moving his family to Minjilang (Croker Island), where he painted with Jimmy Midjawmidjaw, Paddy Compass Namatbara and January Nangunyari Namiridali. Here, in 1964, he met Sandra Le Brun Holmes, who was to become his patron. Holmes organised his first solo exhibition in 1971, the year Yirawala won the International Co-operation Art Award and was appointed a Member of the British Empire for his services to Aboriginal art. In 1976 the National Gallery of Australia acquired 139 paintings by Yirawala through a program to represent Australia's major artists in depth. Holmes also made two films about Yirawala, one entitled 'The Picasso of Arnhem Land' (1982). Click here to order $45

Since the renaissance of traditional Aboriginal art began at the small central Australian desert community of Papunya in 1971, Aboriginal art has become Australia's most dynamic visual arts practice. The cross-hatched bark paintings from Arnhem Land; the multi-layered 'dot' paintings from central Australia; the ochre paintings of Western Australia's west Kimberley painters; the bright 'naif' watercolours of the Fitzroy Crossing artists from the east Kimberley; and the widely divergent individual expressions of urban artists, are only some of the prolific expressions of this rich evolving tradition. This book explores Australia's contrasting landscapes and the historic circumstances of the growth of this vibrant art movement. Biographical information about major artists and their histories within at least twenty regional locations are also provided. Click here to order $45

Quarto gatefold paperback; 104pp., colour and monochrome illustrations with a fold-out illustration. Mild rubbing to covers, wear to edges and corners and creased spine; sticker residue on upper front corner. Very good. One of the most interesting art movements of modern times began when art teacher Geoffrey Bardon, working in the Papunya settlement 250 miles from Alice Springs in the Western desert of Australia, asked a group of children to paint their school house with the curious design motifs he had noticed. The youngsters asked their elders to do it. From those first five rudimentary school murals, Bardon supplied the community with paints, brushes and canvases, spawning the creation of art that has attracted buyers around the world. The idea spread like wild yams in the bush. Geoffrey Bardon wrote; ' In 1980 I sometimes thought, among those new fires and shattered expectations, that an older Australia was passing away forever, that our own symmetries had been set aside and made helpless, and that a new visualization and idea of the continent had come forth, quite literally, out of that burning or freezing red sand. It is hard to be clear about an entire continent wondrously re-perceived by the brutally rejected, and sick, and poor. Yet this is what occurred. This was the gift that time gave and I know this, in my heart, for I was there'. Click here to order $25

33537 Smith, Heide Tiwi The Life and Art of Australia's Tiwi People Angus & Robertson, Sydney NSW, 1990. Quarto; hardcover; unpaginated, with many colour and monochrome plates throughout.

Dustwrapper slightly discoloured at edges of rear panel (now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film). Else very good to near fine. For thousands of years the Tiwi people of Bathurst and Melville Islands in northern Australia believed that their two islands composed the entire world of living people. Their Dreamtime, their culture, flowed from this belief. The geographical isolation of the Tiwi has resulted in art forms that are unique to them and radically different from those of mainland Aborigines: majestic funeral (Pukumani) poles; bird carvings; bark baskets (tungas); ceremonial ornaments and jewellery; and silk-screened fabrics are just some of the artefacts listed here.

Mild rubbing to the dustwrapper; now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good to near fine. Of the continents, Australia's rock art riches stand out. Art has been created in different environments ranging from desert to reef, and the tropics to snow-covered mountains. Styles vary from region to region, environment to environment. Site recording is highlighting the extent and vast numbers of rock art sites in Australia. Realization of the antiquity, diversity and site numbers, tangible links with contemporary Aboriginal culture, and personal public experience with managed art sites are stimulating more public and scientific attention. This was the first book to attempt an overview of Australian rock art to the general reader, illustrating it in context. The reader is introduced to the subject with historic accounts of European discovery and attitudes to rock art. The antiquity, significance and purpose of rock art and its mythology is explained. Close liaison between the author and Aboriginal caretakers has ensured the avoidance of sensitive detail and the exact locations of art sites are not revealed. Click here to order $750
