Initiée au début des années 90, à l’instar des grandes collections australiennes et américaines, la collection Arnaud Serval fait certainement partie des meilleures références européennes. Constituée d’un large choix, tant en termes de régions que de styles, elle parcourt le territoire austral avec acuité au travers des communautés et leurs centres d’art. Citons parmi les œuvres proposées celles de Clifford Possum, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, Barney Campbell, Timmy Payungka, Billy Stockman.qui initièrent le mouvement artistique dès le début des années 70. Avec eux, le monde prit conscience d’un culte multi millénaire pourtant porteur d’une incroyable modernité. Les artistes anglo-saxons ne s’y trompèrent pas, accueillant cet art comme nos modernes ont pu être inspirés par les arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie. Avec ces premiers hérauts, le mouvement d’art aborigène entrait dans l’histoire. Egalement présentée, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, dont quelques œuvres flamboyantes marquent cette vacation mais aussi Queenie McKenzie, Jimmy Nerrimah, Gulumbu Yunupingu prirent la suite inscrivant pour le coup cet art comme le dernier mouvement majeur d’art contemporain de la fin du XXème siècle. 124 pieces collected along the aboriginal songlines With this first selection from the Arnaud Serval Collection, we launch the largest auction sale of Aboriginal art ever offered in the Northern hemisphere. Initiated in the early 90s like most major Australian and American collections, the Arnaud Serval Collection is without a doubt one of the finest European references in the field. Its wide selection of regions and styles covers the breadth of the Australian territory, its communities and artistic centres. Featured in this sale are works by Clifford Possum, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, Barney Campbell, Timmy Payungka, Billy Stockman… who initiated the artistic movement in the early 70s. It is thanks to them that the world discovered a multi-millennial yet stunningly modern culture, which was quickly embraced by Anglo-Saxon artists, much as modern artists had drawn inspiration from African and Oceanian art. These first heralds ushered the Aboriginal arts movement into history. Among other works featured in this sale, a few dazzling pieces by the artists who confirmed Aboriginal art as the last major contemporary artistic movement of the late 20th century, such as Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Queenie McKenzie, Jimmy Nerrimah and Gulumbu Yunupingu.

Il en revient subjugué par la force de leurs mythes fondateurs qui donnent couleurs et profondeur à leurs créations artistiques et à toute leur existence. La passion d’une vie était née. Au gré de ses nombreux voyages en Australie, Arnaud Serval découvre les différentes communautés du Désert Central, des Kimberley et de la Terre d’Arnhem. Il gagne la confiance des grands maîtres, détenteurs du savoir de leur région, qui l’acceptent à leurs côtés et dans leur quotidien. Il tisse des liens affectifs et spirituels avec d’immenses artistes tels que Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Emily Kame Kngwarreye ou Rover Thomas Joolama, aujourd’hui disparus. Ces relations privilégiées lui permettent d'accéder petit-à-petit au savoir secret des Aborigènes, de découvrir certains sites sacrés figurés dans leur art. Pendant près de deux décennies, Arnaud Serval passe ainsi plusieurs mois par an dans le bush australien, partageant l’existence de ses amis artistes, louant des espaces, comme le Life Centre, où ses amis artistes vont, viennent, créent. Il côtoie aussi les centres artistiques, les galeristes, les conservateurs de musées, les chercheurs. En parallèle à ses voyages, Arnaud Serval contribue à faire connaître et aimer l’art de ce peuple en France et en Europe. Dès les années 1990, il fait partie du petit groupe des passionnés de la première heure collectionneurs, hommes et femmes de science, des milieux culturels ou institutionnels. Avec eux, il mène divers projets culturels et artistiques centrés sur l’art aborigène. Au fil des ans, il organise de nombreuses expositions, dans la galerie Woo Mang qu’il crée à Paris, ainsi que dans d’autres espaces prestigieux en France, en Suisse, en Australie. Fascinated at the age of 19 by a book on the art of Australian Aborigines, Arnaud Serval decided to seek them out. He came back enthralled by the power of the founding myths that endowed their art, and indeed their whole existence, with such depth and vibrancy. Over the course of his frequent trips to Australia, Arnaud Serval discovered the various communities of the Central Desert, Kimberley and Arhnem Land. He earned the trust of the great masters who possessed the knowledge of their region, and shared their day-to-day life. He bonded emotionally and spiritually with outstanding artists such as the late Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Emily Kame Kngwarreye and Rover Thomas Joolama. For nearly two decades, Arnaud Serval spent several months a year in the Australian bush, sharing the life of his artist friends, and renting venues like the Life Centre where they could come, go and create. He was also in contact with art centres, art dealers, museum curators and scientists. Alongside his travels, Arnaud Serval promoted Aboriginal art in France and in Europe. In the 1990s, he belonged to the small group of early enthusiasts – collectors and scientists from cultural and institutional circles. With them, he carried out several cultural and artistic projects focused on Aboriginal art. Over the years, he organized many exhibitions in Paris in his Woo Mang Gallery, as well as in other prestigious venues in France, Switzerland and Australia.

Unique, elle l’est par son ampleur, sa qualité et sa diversité, mais aussi par les uvres réalisées spécialement pour lui. La Collection Arnaud Serval compte actuellement près de 2 000 tableaux, peintures sur écorces, sculptures, poteaux funéraires et autres objets traditionnels et sacrés. Aux pièces anciennes et rares comme certaines écorces, aux chefs-d’uvre d’artistes de renommée mondiale, s’ajoutent des créations de nouvelles générations d’artistes des diverses communautés. La collection comprend de plus un large fonds d’archives sonores et visuelles, des documents souvent inédits, ainsi qu’une bibliothèque d’ouvrages de référence. Outre les présentations publiques organisées par Arnaud Serval, les pièces de sa collection sont également régulièrement prêtées à des musées et institutions de référence en Europe, en Australie et aux Etats-Unis. Arnaud Serval vit aujourd’hui à Genève, où il a fondé « Carry On », un espace dédié à l’art aborigène au travers duquel il entend continuer à partager son expérience et sa passion. Thanks to his intimate knowledge of Aboriginal art and his privileged relationship with its actors, Arnaud Serval was able to assemble one of the major private collections in the world. It is unique not only by its breadth, quality and diversity, but also because some pieces were produced especially for him. The Arnaud Serval Collection is composed of nearly 2000 paintings, bark paintings, sculptures, burial poles and other traditional sacred objects. In addition to rare and ancient pieces such as certain barks and to the masterpieces of world-famous artists, it features works by the younger generations of artists from various communities. The collection also includes a large sound and vision archive, unpublished documents as well as a collection of reference books. Alongside the exhibitions organized by Arnaud Serval, pieces from his collection are regularly loaned to museums and institutions of reference in Europe, Australia and the United States.

  • Palatability of Plants to Camels (DBIRD NT)
    Technote No. 116 June 2003 Agdex No: 468/62 ISSN No: 0158-2755 The Palatability of Central Australian Plant Species to Camels Dr B. Dorges, Dr J. Heucke, Central Australian Camel Industry Association and R. Dance, Pastoral Division, Alice Springs BACKGROUND About 600,000 camels (Camelus dromedarius) are believed to inhabit the arid centre of Australia, mainly in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Most of these camels are feral. A small camel industry has developed, which harvests selected animals for domestic and export markets, primarily for meat. Camels can eat more than 80% of the common plant species found in Central Australia. Some plant species are actively sought by camels and may need to be protected. METHOD Observations of grazing preferences by camels were made periodically for up to 12 years on five cattle stations in Central Australia. Where camels were accustomed to the presence of humans, it was possible to observe their grazing preferences from a few metres. Radio transmitters were fitted on some camels for easy detection and observation at any time. These evaluations were used to establish a diet preference or palatability index for observed food plants. Table 1. Palatability index for camels Index Interpretation 1 only eaten when nothing else is available 2 rarely eaten 3 common food plant 4 main food plant at times 5 preferred food plant 6 highly preferred food plant 7 could be killed by camel browsing More information can be obtained from the web site of the Central Australian Camel Industry Association http://www.camelsaust.com.au 2 RESULTS Table 2.

    2014 » 02 » THE DEALER IS THE DEVIL Follow 4,786 followers The eye-catching cover for Adrian Newstead's book - the young dealer with Abie Jangala in Lajamanu Posted by Jeremy Eccles | 13.02.14 Author: Jeremy Eccles News source: Review Adrian Newstead is probably uniquely qualified to write a history of that contentious business, the market for Australian Aboriginal art. He may once have planned to be an agricultural scientist, but then he mutated into a craft shop owner, Aboriginal art and craft dealer, art auctioneer, writer, marketer, promoter and finally Indigenous art politician – his views sought frequently by the media. He's been around the scene since 1981 and says he held his first Tiwi craft exhibition at the gloriously named Coo-ee Emporium in 1982. He's met and argued with most of the players since then, having particularly strong relations with the Tiwi Islands, Lajamanu and one of the few inspiring Southern Aboriginal leaders, Guboo Ted Thomas from the Yuin lands south of Sydney. His heart is in the right place. And now he's found time over the past 7 years to write a 500 page tome with an alluring cover that introduces the writer as a young Indiana Jones blasting his way through deserts and forests to reach the Holy Grail of Indigenous culture as Warlpiri master Abie Jangala illuminates a canvas/story with his eloquent finger – just as the increasingly mythical Geoffrey Bardon (much to my surprise) is quoted as revealing, “Aboriginal art is derived more from touch than sight”, he's quoted as saying, “coming as it does from fingers making marks in the sand”.
