Contemporary Aboriginal Art

More about the book

Besides the 550 strong collection of the dedicated Museum of Contemporary Aboriginal Art, Utrecht (AAMU), this exhibition includes works from the Groninger Museum - which received gifts of art from the Aboriginal Arts Board in Australia in the 70s, the Wereldmuseum Rotterdam specialising in urban artists, the University Museum Groningen and the ethnographically based Nijmeegs Volkenkundig Museum. The AAMU also has access to various private collections - notably the famous Thomas Vrooms Collection. This is the first time that key works from all of these collections, which have been loaned to AAMU on a long-term basis, have been brought together in one exhibition.
