Rare Papunya paintings from Lyon-Crosby collection debut at D Lan Galleries in 2026

D Lan Galleries in Australia will exhibit ten early Western Desert paintings from the private collection of architect Carey Lyon and psychologist Jo Crosby in May 2026. The works, created by Papunya Tula artists, are considered landmark pieces in the history of Indigenous Australian art. The exhibition marks a rare public showing of these significant works, which have been assembled over decades by the collectors. The show is part of the gallery's Significant 2026 program.
