  • Highlights from Sammlung Klein 08.01 – 30.01.2021 at Michael Reid Berlin Highlights from Sammlung Klein 08.01 – 30.01.2021 at Michael Reid Berlin
    Highlights from Sammlung Klein 08.01 – 30.01.2021 at Michael Reid Berlin Highlights from Sammlung Klein 08.01 – 30.01.2021 at Michael Reid Berlin In August, 2020 the Michael Reid Berlin team had the pleasure of meeting Peter Klein and viewing his collection in Eberdingen, Baden- Württemberg, Germany. Peter and his wife Alison have been collecting art since the 1980’s and alongside many international artists their collection includes a significant number of works of contemporary Aboriginal Art. We are delighted to be sharing pieces from their collection in Berlin. This exhibition, which opens Michael Reid Berlin’s 2021 program, serves to shed light on contemporary Aboriginal Art in the international realm. And furthermore, the important role of the collector. Included in this catalogue is an essay by Georges Petitjean (the curator of Fondation Opale, Switzerland and former head of the Aboriginal Contemporary Art Museum, Utrecht), an insightful in-conversation piece and information on the exhibiting artists George Tjungurrayi, George Ward Tjungarrayi, Joseph Jurra Tjapaltjarri and Yukultji Napangati. We invite you to discover more about contemporary art from across Australia and its rightful place in the global art market. Laura Thompson Director, Michael Reid Berlin 2021 Aboriginal art at Michael Reid Berlin Georges Petitjean Aboriginal art has in recent years firmly set foot in the European art world. The inclusion of work by western desert artists Doreen Reid Nakamarra and Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri in dOCUMENTA (13) in 2012 and Emily Kame Kngwarreye in the central pavilion of the 2015 Venice Biennale are testimony to this. However, this appreciation could not always be taken for granted and Aboriginal art was only gradually allowed into the realm of contemporary art in the European sense.

  • Remembering Forward: Paintings of Australian Aborigines Since 1960 240 Pages, Hardback, 310 X 240 Mm, 150 Illustrations
    Paul Holberton publishing THIRD FLOOR 89 BOROUGH HIGH STREET LONDON SE1 1NL TEL 020 7407 0809 FAX 020 7407 4615 [email protected] WWW.PAUL-HOLBERTON.NET Remembering Forward Paintings of Australian Aborigines since 1960 Edited by Kasper König, Emily Evans and Falk Wolf The publication Remembering Forward accompanies the exhibition at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, 20 November 2010 to 20 March 2011, which presents the work of nine of the most prominent Australian Aboriginal artists of recent years: Paddy Bedford, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Queenie McKenzie, Dorothy Napangardi, Rover Thomas, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri and Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula. This is the first time that an art museum outside Australasia has devoted an exhibition to the works of these artists. The title Remembering Forward refers to the tension among tradition, present and future that determines the demands made of artists. On the one hand, they usually take as their subject the so-called ‘Dreamtime’ of prehistory from which myths of the earth’s and humankind’s creation have been handed down. In that regard they are deeply traditional. On the other, these artists have radically changed their medium and method of art-making over the last forty years. Inherited practices of sand- and body-painting have been transformed such that the paintings are executed in acrylic on canvas or other portable media. These changes afforded the artists entry to the global art market. Thus they have adjusted to address an outside public and keep the images free of those parts of the Dreamings that, in their own culture, are reserved for the initiated.
