Emily Kam Kngwarray is a comprehensive and richly illustrated publication celebrating the timeless art of this pre-eminent Australian artist, recognised as one of the most significant painters of the 20th century. 

This book provides new insights into Kngwarray’s life and work, featuring original research and reflections from her community, curators, and academics. Generously illustrated, it showcases her most significant pieces, from early vibrant batiks to monumental paintings on canvas. The publication includes archival images, many previously unpublished, and offers a visual record of community consultations and visits to Kngwarray’s Country.

Emily Kam Kngwarray was released in conjunction with a major retrospective exhibition of her work at the National Gallery of Australia.
