A+O is today delighted to have been privileged with the consignment of this very major painting by the late, great Aboriginal master Emily Kame Kngwarreye who didn't begin painting until in her 80s. Among the most sought after of the artist's works are her late works completed in the reduced palette of black and white and which take as their subject the artist's dreaming, the yam plant. The auction is scheduled for August 18th and further entries are now invited.
