Lot description

Emily Kame Kngwarreye - Acrylic on Belgian Linen - ex Philip Goldman Collection Our Gallery Curator up here purchased a number of Items from Philip Goldmans Personal Collection. Philip Goldman was arguably one of the greatest Oceanic, Tribal and Indigenous collectors of the 20th Century. He sold many items to the British Museum. He owned this painting and had it listed in his collection as a work by Emily Kame Kngwarreye. He had it custom framed at Londons Conservation Framers (that Along would have cost a fortune). Our Curator once acquiring it has painstakingly removed it from the frame looking for a signature. There is not one. But this piece was painted on Belgian linen, which Emily painted on mainly for Commissioned works. We think this is right... and one of Emily's works. but have no paperwork. Paintings by this artist have sold for over 2 million dollars. I would take the punt on this piece. Our Curator believes she either gifted it to Philip Goldman, or he commissioned her to do it for him. But its up top you to decide, thats all the information we have ....it could be a sleeper !! It measures 150cm by 60cm wide
