| WARLPIRI ARTISTS OF THE TANAMI DESERT IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY OF AUSTRALIA
Title: Ngalyipi Tjukurrpa (Snake Vine Dreaming) Date: 2008 Size: 152 x 122 cm ( Aprox. 5` x 4` ) Medium: Acrylic on Linen Provenance: Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Association: catalogue # 09/08 PRICE: AU$22,000
After waiting many months for an opportunity to acquire another masterwork by this artist, and having but the odd exceptional work made available over the past few years, it remains clear that this might well be the last painting of such excellence by Liddy Walker that Artspeak will acquire.
Without a cue that visually lends to the size of this work it may be difficult to fully appreciate a painting of this kind where colour, texture and composition come together in an aesthetic manner to render this painting a masterwork in the field of Aboriginal Art.
Auction houses can only sell what they are offered and to date it seems that collectors are not parting with their Liddy paintings from her most mature years. Artspeak has only ever offered Sotheby`s one Warlpiri work, which was by Maggie Napangardi Watson and seemingly the first of its kind to go under the hammer at Sotheby`s and no doubt helped to set the stage for what has followed since in terms of prices now being paid for this artist`s works, which are now well out of reach for most.

Title: Ngalyipi Tjukurrpa (Snake Vine Dreaming) Date: 2005 Size: 122 x 107 cm ( Aprox. 4` x 3` 6``) Medium: Acrylic on Linen Provenance: Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Association: catalogue # 1929/05 PRICE: AU$15,500
While no-one can take anything away from Judy Napangardi Watson, it can be argued that Liddy Napanangka Walker is deserving of equal status and collectors would be doing themselves a favour in giving a painting of this kind by this artist serious consideration. Sales talk? Most definitely not, which the art of this artist from the Tanami Desert clearly demonstrates.

The following news article titled: `Writing On The Wall for Telstra Indigenous Art Awards After Boycott` is not about Judy Napangardi Watson per se, but rather about yet another scandal in the Aboriginal Art arena, though it does offer an update on Judy Watson`s success as an artist and more.
