Eastern Anmatyerr artist Kathleen Petyarre was
born around 1940 on the Atnangker homelands in the Northern Territory,
arid spinifex country. Kathleen Petyarre presents a stunning
full colour retrospective of Petyarres work to date. The
framing essay by Christine Nicholls offers an account of Kathleens
life based on conversations with the artist over a period of years,
and reflects the significance that the artist attributes to the
episodes and events in her life that have impacted on her work.
The release of the monograph coincides with a three month retrospective
exhibition of Petyarres work at the Museum of Contemporary
Art in Sydney.
