Forged

Episode 6: Still Painting


Listen Later

Adrian travels to Australia where he finds eerie similarities to Norval Morrisseau’s story. Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, an Indigenous artist and Anmatyerre man from the Northern Territory, was a contemporary of Norval’s. Tjapaltjarri walks into a gallery and is surrounded by paintings signed by him…but he didn’t paint them. Bigger questions surface about how Indigenous art – and Indigenous people – are valued. Adrian reflects on his own art, and on the impact these forgeries have on Norval’s legacy.
