This is the first time in the history of Australian printmaking that a portfolio of limited edition prints has become available that focus on a unique aspect of Aboriginal culture. Fifteen senior Aboriginal artists have each created a thematic work on Yilpinji, the love magic practiced by the Warlpiri and Kukatja people of the central and western deserts of Australia. This little known aspect of Aboriginal culture is explored in this important portfolio of fifteen etchings, screenprints and linocuts. These
limited edition prints by Old Masters from the predominantly Kukatja
settlement of Wirrimanu (Balgo Hills) in Western Australia as
well as from Yuendumu and Lajamanu, Warlpiri settlements in the
Northern Territory, have come about as a result of a unique cross-cultural
collaboration. It has involved indigenous artists, remote art
centre staff and community organisations, a fine art print publishing
house, a number of anthropologists who have specialist knowledge
of these cultural groups and two highly respected non-indigenous
printmakers.
The publisher of the portfolio, The Australian Art Print Network, is a respected publisher and distributor of limited edition prints by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Artists. In producing this important folio of prints it has worked with two highly regarded print studios, Basil Hall Editions and Editions Tremblay and with Dr. Christine Nicholls of Flinders University, writer and cultural historian on Warlpiri and Kukatja art and culture. The
15 original prints in this portfolio all measure 760mm x 560mm
and are limited to editions of 99. They are presented in a buckram
bound box, which is accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue detailing
the artists and the stories associated with each print and cross-referencing
the images with the social and cultural issues they raise. The
Yilpinji Portfolio Edition can be browsed and purchased by following
