What is Aboriginal Art
Aboriginal artists use dots and lines as a type of language to connect to their dreamtime stories.
Originally over dotting was used to cover up their sacred totems and symbols , however these simple ritualistic artworks are very complex in their true meaning.
In 1971 ,approximately 1000 artworks were produced in Papunya Tula with Geoffrey Bardon the young school teacher stationed in the community. Artists such as Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa and Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula were some of the pioneers of the movement.
As a result, the world came to know Australian Aboriginal art and an international spotlight was shone on our shores.
The artists became more confident in their abilities, as galleries in Alice Springs started to show interest in their paintings and dealers offered the artists paint and canvas to create their stories and sell to the tourists travelling through the Red Centre.
The last 5 years has been a huge turning point in the Aboriginal artworld with the gallery sale of Yannima Tommy Watson's seminal painting featured in The Australian newspaper and then the spotlight has shone again on the Gagosian gallery's incredible exhibition highlighting some of Steve Martins Indigenous collection. Featured artists were the big hitters, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri of the last nomads and George Hairbrush Tjungurrayi with his Tingari stories. Lets not forget Bill Whiskey Tjapaltjarri, Makinti Napanangka and Naata Nungurrayi.
As a valuer I see many artworks that are looking for new homes. Please let me know if you are looking to collect as well as having your artwork valued. My access to stellar artworks is vast and varied.

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.
*Daniel Goldshaft Valuations does not promise to buy / resell or guarantee the sale of your artwork for you or on behalf of another party.
There may be a variety of possible prices depending on what market the artwork is being sold in.
