Last week on Artworks, Julie Copeland talked to the Sydney pathologist and art collector Colin Laverty about how you make a collection. This week Julie is taking the conversation further with him, to tease out ideas about the way we look at contemporary Aboriginal art — as fine art, or as ethnographic art.
These are ideas that are also taken up in a book that Colin has just put out, called Beyond Sacred: Recent paintings from Australia’s remote Aboriginal communities.
