This is a lavishly illustrated and superbly presented survey of the growing presence of traditional Aboriginal works in modern art. Interest in Aboriginal art has grown exponentially over the past few years - not just in Australia, but all over the world. No longer seen as simply ethnographic, traditional Aboriginal art has become one of the most exciting new forms of modern art. "Beyond Sacred" is a visually stunning survey of recent Aboriginal art. Ranging across Western Australia and the Northern Territories, from the well-known art centers of Papunya and Utopia to the lesser-known communities of Maningrida and Bidyadanga, this volume tells the unique story of Aboriginal art and its growing presence in the contemporary art scene. Featuring more than 250 paintings and drawings from established artists and up-and-coming talent, this superb volume is destined to inspire both the experienced collector and art enthusiast alike.
