Witness the explosion of talent that emerged from Utopia at the end of the 20th century, on display at Sydney's S. H. Ervin Gallery.

Emily Kngwarreye, Gloria Petyarre and Ada Bird Petyarre lead with major paintings that were revolutionary at the time, and they are supported by many of their friends and peers who add to the richness of and diversity of the wider Utopia community.
There are masterpieces in this exhibition that are well-known as well as stunning works drawn from private collections that have never been publicly exhibited before. This is an exhibition that will surprise everyone and adds to the celebration of Emily Kame Kngwarreye now showing at the TATE in London.
