Between the Desert and the Moon: Central and Western Desert Artists is a collection gifted to MAMA by Robert Michael Moon (Michael Moon). Moon has been an avid collector for over 50 years of two- and three-dimensional European and Aboriginal art. During the 1970s ? 1990s Moon collected work from the Western Desert, an area that borders the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
The collection encompasses art from the late twentieth to early twenty-first century, and showcases the diversity of the Western Desert region. These varied painting movements are now established as an integral part of the modern history of the Aboriginal peoples of the desert, and of Australian art history.
The works are drawn from a number of communities and include works by major artists such as the recently deceased Tiger Palpatja from the community of Amata in South Australia, Lucy Yukenberri from Balgo in Western Australia and Johnny Yungut Tjupurrurla from the Papunya Tula Artists cooperative in the Northern Territory....
