Emily Kam Kngwarray: The Turning Season

In 2026, Pace Gallery will present an unprecedented exploration of the career of Emily Kam Kngwarray, a major figure in contemporary Australian art. This exhibition, which will open on May 15th and run until August 14th, will highlight her most iconic paintings and textiles, directly inspired by her Anmatyerr heritage and her deep engagement with the sacred landscape of Alhalker. Kngwarray, a senior Anmatyerr and custodian of the ‘Dreaming’ sites, translated visually her ancestral traditions, creating powerful and vibrant works. This exhibition is particularly noteworthy as it reflects the growing recognition of her work on the art market, with artworks reaching millionaire prices. A unique opportunity to discover the work of an artist who fused abstraction and cultural heritage, and who has left an indelible mark on the history of Australian art.
