Aboriginal art awakens Australia and the world to new ways of thinking about a timeless way of being.' - Nici Cumpston, author. HIGHLIGHTS: ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER COLLECTION is a brief introduction to the extraordinary diversity and breadth of the Art Gallery of South Australia's collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Starting in Central Australia and radiating outwards, towards and along the coast, to include artists from desert, saltwater, rainforest, islander and urban environments across the continent, the Collection is as dynamic in its development as in its nature. Illustrating the strong holdings of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art in the Art Gallery of South Australia's collection, HIGHLIGHTS is essential reading for those seeking an introduction to the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.
