    Cooee Art Indigenous Fine Art Auction "Pintupi artist Fred Ward Tjungurrayi was born pre-contact at Purkitjarra (east of Kiwirrkurra) and came with his family into the Warburton community in remote Western Australia in the 1960s. He returned to the newly settled Pintupi community of Kiwirrkurra in 1984 and began painting for Papunya Tula Artists in August 1987. From the outset, he tackled large scale canvases, his work being distinctive for its powerful designs and traditional austerity. His first solo exhibition was held late in 1987, around the same time as this painting was exhibited and sold in New York. Iin 1989 he won the Northern Territory Art Award. Fred Ward Tjungurrayi's masterwork, Tingari Travels at Kiwirrkurra 1990, is featured on the cover of the catalogue produced for the Art Gallery of New South Wales' landmark exhibition Papunya Tula - Genesis and Genius, widely regarded as the most important exhibition ever mounted focussing on the paintings of the Papunya Tula Artists. After spending some time in the communities of Patjarr and Karilwara between 1992 and 1994, Tjungurrayi returned to Warburton, where he now lives with his wife and family.+IB0 Contact Cooee Art for more information on this Aboriginal artwork.
