LIGHT FALL
June 18th - July 31, 2009
Von Lintel Gallery
520 West 23rd St
Von Lintel Gallery is pleased to announce its third exhibition of new paintings by Australian artist Tim Maguire.
In this latest boy of work, Maguire continues his practice of combining digital image-making techniques with a painterly process to create large-scale oil paintings. Some of Maguire's subject matter remains familiar - tight angles of poppies, stems and brilliantly blue skye - as does his technique, using a three-color separation of a single photograph to create his cropped floral paintings.

ICONS OF THE DESERT:
Early Aboriginal Paints from Papunya
Exhibition showing: 1 Sept - 5 Dec
Opening Reception: Sept 10, 6-8pm
Grey Art Gallery
NYU
100 Washington Square East
In 1971, at Papunya, a government-established Aboriginal community in Central
Australia, a Sydney-based schoolteacher provided a group of men with the tools and the encouragement to paint. Known as “Papunya boards,” these works constituted the beginning of the Western Desert art movement where indigenous Australian artists explore images and experiences in a new medium and on permanent surfaces. Drawn from the John and Barbara Wilkerson Collection, the exhibition includes masters of the Papunya School such as Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Shorty Lungkarta Tjungurrayi, Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula, and Mick NamararriTjapaltjarri.
Organized by the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University, the exhibition is curated by Roger Benjamin, Director of the Power Institute at the University of Sydney, and accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
