On 21 September 2016, Sotheby’s will stage its second London sale dedicated to the field of Aboriginal Art. The auction follows the outstanding success of the inaugural 2015 edition of the sale, the first of its kind to be held by a major auction house outside of Australia. Spanning more than 200 years, the artworks vary from exceptional early artefacts to contemporary art by stars such as Tracey Moffatt, Emily Kngwarreye and Walimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri.

This tightly curated auction of 92 lots includes major paintings from the Estate of Gabrielle Pizzi, whose collection has been exhibited in significant exhibition across the globe, including Dreamings at the Asia Society, New York, Aratjara at the Hayward Gallery, London, and Genesis and Genius at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Further highlights include The Fiona Brockhoff Collection, the finest group of early Aboriginal sculpture ever to be offered at auction.

Tim Klingender, Senior Consultant, Australian Art to Sotheby's London, said “We are delighted to be offering so many exceptional artworks from some of the world’s most important collections, in what I anticipate will be a landmark auction for the Aboriginal Art field.”
