We are delighted to announce that D'Lan Contemporary will open a second space in New York on East 73rd Street later this month with a solo exhibition of new works by acclaimed contemporary artist Daniel Walbidi. This new space – for which the focus will be showcasing the work of living Australian First Nations artists – will enable us to expand and develop our exhibition, events, and educational talks program and to further celebrate and promote Australian First Nations art with U.S. and international audiences. 

Uwankara Uṯuḻu: All Together, currently on view in our New York gallery, showcases the work of two generations of Spinifex artists, those for whom 'painting secured what has always been known, their irrevocable right to Country, together with those who were inspired by these very same painters to represent their own rights through the medium of paint on linen.' We recently spoke to artists Timo Hogan and Noli Rictor, and Studio Manager Riley Adams Brown from the Spinifex Arts Project about the impact founding artists such as Simon Hogan, Lawrence Pennington, Fred and Ned Grant and others have had on the younger generation of artists.

As the art market powers into 2024, this is an important time to pause and reflect on what we can learn from what happened within the industry in 2023. This dynamic segment of the market is now ready to enter its next stage. Previously held back by the local ‘old guard’ – who are often resistant to change and in some cases, prepared to compromise their own policies and processes to stay ahead – the industry is now evolving, technologically and politically. Remaining agile and moving assertively with the 'market flow’ is, as always, the key to success and progression. It's time to look to the future – which is looking unquestionably bright for the art of our brightest First Nations artists, both past and present. So, let’s assess what occurred in 2023

It was a privilege to present the work of Emily Kam Kngwarray, Australia’s most critically acclaimed contemporary First Nations artist, to a global Art Fair audience for the first time at Frieze Masters 2023. We are thrilled with the response to her work – which was embraced and celebrated – and to have sold eight of nine works. This is a defining moment for Emily, with a solo, almost sell-out exhibition at Frieze Masters, and an upcoming major retrospective at The National Gallery of Australia. We look forward to seeing what is next for this extraordinary artist.

With a solo exhibition at Frieze Masters and an upcoming major retrospective of her work at the National Gallery of Australia, Anmatyerre woman, Emily Kam Kngwarray is set to rightfully takes her place alongside the greatest masters of international modern and contemporary art.
