Papunya-A Place Made After the Story presents, for the first time, a complete record of the artists and the works emanating from the Papunya Outpost. It is a first-hand account of the origins of the contemporary art movement in desert Australia, setting out Bardon’s analysis and synthesis of all the archival records held by him of the beginnings of the Western Desert Painting Movement from 1971 to 1978, and provides a reconstruction of the day-to-day and spiritual life of the Western Desert peoples. Illustrated with over 600 paintings, 60 photographic portraits, and hundreds of explanatory diagrams and maps, it is an essential work of incomparable importance.
