Aboriginal art occupies a prominent position in the re-evaluation of contemporary art practice, continuing to excite curators and collectors worldwide. The unique combination of an art with a varied and dynamic aesthetic, and with living links to traditional spiritual practice, has proved appealing to cultural institutions and private collectors alike.

ArtiFacts offers services to assist with selection and/or anonymous acquisition of works of art, and is pleased to profile the depth and breadth of available work via the links provided on this site.

For the purpose of this website, the word Aboriginal also denotes Torres Strait Islander peoples.
