What is Aboriginal Art
Expert Aboriginal Art Valuations: From Papunya Tula to Contemporary Masters
Australian Aboriginal art is a visual language of "Dreaming" stories, conveyed through intricate dots and rhythmic lines. While originally used to protect sacred totems, this "over-dotting" technique sparked a global movement. Since the 1971 Papunya Tula revolution led by Geoffrey Bardon and pioneers like Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, the international art market has maintained a steady gaze on the Australian Red Centre.
As a specialist Aboriginal art valuer, I provide certified appraisals for works ranging from the early masters to contemporary "big hitters" such as Emily Kame Kngwarreye and Yannima Tommy Watson. Whether you possess a seminal Tingari story by George Hairbrush Tjungurrayi or works by the "Last Nomads," accurate valuation is essential for insurance, superannuation, or resale.

Artwork Valuation Purposes
Private sale - The purpose for a valuation for private sale is to provide the client with an estimate of value where the artwork is to be offered for resale within a commercial retail market dealing gallery, an auction sale room or is traded between two parties in a market other than the prior markets.
Insurance replacement - The purpose of an insurance replacement valuation is to provide the client and the insurance company with all correct details of technical and descriptive information to allow both parties to reach an agreement for insurance coverage.
These valuations are the most common valuations provided.
Insurance replacement is usually defined as what someone would expect to be charged to replace a commercially equivalent artwork from a reputable outlet within the market specified on the document.
Divorce settlement or Estate division - The purpose for this valuation is to provide all technical details and value to allow division of assets for parties involved.
These valuations may reflect specific instructions from the legal community and will sometimes reflect a range of market levels for comparison.
Probate - This valuation was used in the past to provide information for the determination of government taxes and charges payable on a deceased estate as death duties.
The probate commissioners definition was 'an immediate sale to a willing but not anxious buyer. It represents the lowest value applicable usually by forced sale.
It is now more common for probate to be used for estate division as there are presently no probate taxes.
