This volume examines the work of 11 Aboriginal artists working in the 1980s and 1990s: Peter Skipper, Jarinyanu David Downs, Eubena Nampitjin, Wimmitji Tjapangarti, Rover Thomas, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Maxie Tjampitjinpa, Abie Jangala, Ginger Riley Mundulwalawala, Jack Wunuwun, and Jimmy Wululu. While the biographies of these artists reflect a common ground, their personal histories and experiences are widely divergent. In general, the works illustrated in this publication were produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s and are intended to focus at close range on a select group of artists, rather than presumed high points in their careers. "Stories" originally toured as an exhibition for a German audience in 1995 and the catalogue documentation was limited to the German language. This English edition, complete with a new introduction, provides a current review of the artists' stories and circumstances by the original writers and biographers. It presents a series of essays on Aboriginal art and culture by six prominent writers, each a professional in their field, with other publication and research documentation to their credit.
