Following the success of the inaugural, international edition of SIGNIFICANT in 2025, D LAN GALLERIES presents SIGNIFICANT 2026, taking place across all three of the galleries, in Melbourne, Sydney and New York. This international platform provides unparalleled access for astute audiences to view and acquire the finest Australian First Nations works of art on the market.

The inaugural international edition of SIGNIFICANT, which featured over 80 exceptional modern and contemporary works of art, was presented to collectors in Melbourne, Sydney, New York and beyond in 2025.

Sold highlights included works by early masters Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi, Timmy Payungka Tjapangati, Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri and George Jomeri. We were also honoured to facilitate the sale of the monumental Bentinck Island Women’s Collaborative, Sweers Island and Two Roads by Shorty Lungkata Tjungurrayi to major institutions, as well as the sale of works by Emily Kam Kngwarray, Eubena Nampitjin, Rover Thomas Joolama, Paddy Bedford, Bill Whiskey, Patrick Tjungurrayi, Sally Gabori and Daniel Walbidi among many others.

We look forward to the presentation of this second edition, and to the continued growth of this exciting segment of the art market, as Australian First Nations art continues its trajectory to its rightful place alongside the finest modern and contemporary art in the world.
