ART on view 104 It is hoped that the limited-edition, fully illustrated catalog, which includes contributions by Dr. Barry Craig of the South Australian Museum and Natalie Wilson of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, will allow insight into the vast range of Sepik art held in Australia. And perhaps this brief article on Myth & Magic: Art of the Sepik River, Papua New Guinea will even be suffi cient to tempt some of its readers to visit the exhibition in person. Myth & Magic: Art of the Sepik River, Papua New Guinea August 7–November 1, 2015 National Gallery of Australia Canberra www.nga.gov.au A one-day forum on Sepik River art in conjunction with the Oceanic Art Society is scheduled for August 8, 2015.
