Tim Klingender, a prominent Aboriginal art dealer, tragically died in a boating accident two years ago, leaving behind a rich legacy. His widow, Skye McCardle-Klingender, is overseeing an auction at Sotheby's New York aimed at continuing his vision for Indigenous artists. Klingender significantly shaped the Aboriginal art market, advocating for its artists' recognition on par with major figures like Picasso. The auction features works from his collection and aims to sustain the ongoing appreciation of Indigenous art.
The business continues, even if Tim doesn't. He thought these painters should be acknowledged and respected like Picasso, or anyone else.
He created the market for Aboriginal art internationally, and he drove the market through its crucial developments and record-breaking auctions.
