Central Art Aboriginal Art Store is excited to present itsfirst online exhibition The Petyarre Sisters 2007: Australian Aboriginal Art from Utopia from Central Art - Aboriginal Art Store. For this exhibition, Sabine Haider, Director, has chosen to exhibit fifteen works from the dynamic dynasty - five of the Petyarre Sisters.

The Petyarre sisters stand unique as a group of women who have as a family dominated women's art in Australia for two decades. With the exception of Ada who is now in ill health, the sisters continue to produce outstanding art and to maintain their status and prominence as significant Aboriginal artists. Kathleen Petyarre, Gloria Petyarre, Ada Petyarre, Myrtle Petyarre and Violet Petyarre commenced contemporary painting in 1988 when batik was introduced to their community in Utopia. The quality of these works suprised the world and the batiks they produced are now rare collectable pieces, in the Robert Holmes a Court Collection.
