work of the week emily kam kngwarray

Artnet News's "Work of the Week" highlights Emily Kam Kngwarray's painting *Desert Storm* (1992), currently on view at Pace London as part of the exhibition "My Country." Painted midway through her career, the work marks a stylistic shift from intricate dotting to broader strokes and expansive color fields. The piece is priced between $1 million and $1.5 million, aligning with the artist's auction record of $1.3 million (AUD $2.1 million) for *Earth's Creation I* (1994), sold at Cooee Art Gallery in 2017. The exhibition is organized with D'Lan Contemporary, which has branches in New York, Melbourne, and Sydney, and 10 percent of proceeds will support the Utopia community, in addition to the Artist Resale Right returned to Kngwarray's estate.

UK artist resale right at 20: how successful has the pioneering scheme been?

The UK's Artist Resale Right (ARR), a law entitling visual artists to royalties from secondary market sales of their work, marks its 20th anniversary. Initially met with fierce opposition from auction houses and dealers who feared it would drive high-value sales offshore, the scheme is now largely accepted by the UK art trade, though concerns about administrative burdens compared to markets like New York and Hong Kong remain.
