Then and Now – The Life, Art & Legacy of Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori (c.1924-2015)

Beverly Knight is honoured to have represented and nurtured the entire career of the incomparable Sally Gabori. Since the artist’s passing in 2015, Knight was appointed the Agent for the Estate of Sally Gabori Art by the Executor of her Estate.

At this insightful talk, Beverly Knight lends her intimate knowledge of the life and art of one of Australia’s most nationally and internationally significant First Nations artists. Sally Gabori was a remarkable artist and Kaiadilt woman who began her artistic career in her 80s, her inspiration to paint was recalling from her mind’s eye her home Country of Bentinck Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland. Any artist developing a non-derivative style of painting in any century internationally is special; however, Sally Gabori, in doing so, reshaped the landscape of First Nations art worldwide. Gabori continues to captivate collectors and art lovers, globally renowned as one of the most important artists in Australian history.
