Margie West (Ed.). Yulyurlu: Lorna Fencer Napurrurla.

This book accompanies the exhibition dedicated to the work of the desert artist Yulyurlu Lorna Fencer Napurrurla, which opened at the Drill Hall Gallery in the Northern Territory in November 2011. As the editor of this book - which doubled as the catalogue for the touring exhibition - and curator of the exhibition, Margie West states, it celebrates the work of an Indigenous artist “whose independence as an artist was legendary” (9). Moreover, it offers a comprehensive insight into the making of a highly experimental and unpredictable Indigenous artist whose artistic merit has still not been fully acknowledged. The publication consists of a short foreword and preface by Louise Partos and Margie West respectively, followed by three very different glances into Yulyurlu’s work, by Barbara Ambjerg Pederson, Chips Mackinolty, and Christine Nicholls. This is followed by the segment with colour illustrations of the artist’s works, a map of the artist’s country, artist’s profile, a remarkably elaborate glossary of Warlpiri terms presumably compiled by Nicholls, an international bibliography on the Western Desert art, a note on contributors, and acknowledgements. The review offers a critical survey of the edition.
