You can feel it instantly: the devotion, the passion, the profound knowledge of this art and culture. It enriches our Aboriginal art collection wonderfully and has become, so to speak, ART OBJECT number 50.*

Heinz Heining, Kunstsammler, Böblingen

INDIGENIUS will receive a privileged spot in the library of the Fondation Opale.

This publication showcases an UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF RESEARCH and documentation on contemporary Australian Indigenous artists and years of passion for the Aboriginal art that interest us so much.

Bérengère Primat, Fondation Opale, Lens, Schweiz

What an achievement! A magnificently illustrated and truly comprehensive volume on the history of Australian Aboriginal or First Nations art in German language, with a strong and meaningful regional focus. Its particular strength lies in how it weaves together the perspectives of artists, exhibitors, and collectors. For future research, it is already an invaluable resource. The subtitle (KL)EINE BILD(UNGS)REISE (educational journey by pictures) captures its essence with remarkable precision!*

Oliver Lueb, wissenschaftlicher Referent für Ozeanien und stellvertretender Direktor am Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, Köln

You have created a MASTERPIECE that would have deserved a doctorate. This extraordinary book will certainly not vanish into a bookshelf. We have a special bench reserved for exceptional works, where they remain open for friends and visitors to leaf through and admire. I believe this is exactly how you intended it.*

Berenice Gommel, Kunstsammlerin

INDIGENIUS is more than a book — it is the distilled memory of the life of Robyn Kelch passionately devoted to championing Aboriginal art from Australia on the world stage.

With a sharp, generous, and at times uncompromising eye, it offers rare insight into the forces that shaped this contemporary artistic movement.

A luminous reference work, and nothing short of A BIBLE FOR DISCERNING COLLECTORS.

Bertrand Estrangin, Aboriginal Signature Estrangin Gallery, Brussels

Today I finally had time to leaf through your OPUS MAGNUM. Reading it all would probably take weeks. At first glance, I’d say: I couldn’t have done it better. No one could have done it better! What an incredible achievement. It deserves a medal. My highest respect!*

Klaus Isele, Verleger/Editor

The book looks truly impressive. Congratulations on the cover too!
I am currently in Tjuntjuntjara visiting Spinifex Arts Project and had the chance to have a closer look at INDIGENIUS. What an EXTRAORDINARY FEAT it is! And so well designed and professionally produced. Congratulations again.

Georges Petitjean, Art Historian, Curator of the Aboriginal Art Museum Utrecht (AAMU 2005-2017), Curator of the Collection Bérengère Primat since 2017

The OPUS has arrived. I am overwhelmed by your life’s work!*

Dr. Ursula Reinhardt, ehemalige Galerie Schurr, Stuttgart

I expected a normal book, not such an aesthetic coffee-table book—not to say ŒUVRE. I am utterly delighted. Behind this book lies so much knowledge, experience, passion, dedication, skill, cost, and work – and a very special person. Your long-standing commitment to Australia’s First Nations, these extraordinary people who contribute to preserving this planet, earns my profound admiration.*

Dr. Claudius Giese, Ethnologe und Kunde der Galerie ARTKELCH

INDIGENIUS is such a remarkable publication. The artists have been leafing through the pages daily – it is already looking SO WELL LOVED! It is such a fantastic resource to be treasured.

Olivia Sproll, Spinifex Arts Project

INDIGENIUS is an impressive achievement – distinguished by meticulous research and exceptional expertise. From the first reading it draws you in; each chapter reveals new and fascinating depths. Stickers mark countless pages, passages one wishes to revisit, images we thought we knew but now see anew. A splendid accomplishment that will undoubtedly inspire enthusiatic responses.*

Susanne Draenert, Draenert Orangerie, Immenstaad

The beautifully crafted and deeply impressive result of painstaking work on contemporary Indigenous Australian art truly deserves the title ‚COMPENDIUM‘.*

JK, Freiburg, Sammler von Aboriginal Art

We just looked through the MASTERPIECE. What an amazing book. I hope you are celebrating big time! Congratulations!

Amanda Dent, former art centre manager Spinifex Arts Project

The book is a true treasure trove, its intense imagery making it wonderfully attractive – a BIBLIOPHILE WORK OF ART, heightened by its beautiful design. The only bittersweet note is the limited edition; we would have wished it a far broader reach. Our heartfelt congratulations on your masterpiece!*

Anna Walti und Stephan Meyer, Kunstsammler, Zürich

With your book, you have achieved something truly grand – an authentic REFERENCE WORK ON ABORIGINAL ART.*

Alfred Kornfeld, Galerist und Sammler, Berlin

The textual design of INDIGENIUS is superb – no dreary blocks of text. The pink keywords, the headings, the quotations in the grey band at the top (a brilliant idea) guide the reader enticingly through the themes. One is tempted to stop and read at every page, while even a quick browse provides a wealth of INFORMATION AND ATMOSPHERE. Congratulations on this beautifully realised Œuvre.*

Inge Reutter-Eck, Aboriginal-Art-Liebhaberin, Freiburg im Breisgau

The book is very professionally made. The texts are also well written. The great thing is, you don’t have to read everything – you can browse and let the images impress you. You can tell this book is a labour of love and truly a JEWEL. It’s a joy to keep dipping into it.*

Marianne und Jürgen Klausmann, Freiburg im Breisgau

A HOMAGE AND LOVE LETTER from Ms. Kelch to this art – infused with diary-like intimacy and deep knowledge of the artists and their stories. As a layperson, INDIGENIUS is exactly the book I need: joyful, engaging, and offering insights as personal as no ‚art book‘ ever could. I look forward to reading more! Thank you for the immense care and time you invested in taking us along on your journey.*

Tatjana Gallist, Vorstand Capricorn Foundation, München

My heartfelt congratulations on this OPUS MAGNUM. I would never have expected this scope, the incredibly high-quality design, or the immense labour visible even at first glance.*

Annette Kemmler, Tübingen

Your book INDIGENIUS is breathtaking – so much information, so many images and stories. And perfectly crafted: simply beautiful. A TRUE SHOWPIECE!*

Michaela Franzen, Aboriginal-Art-Sammlerin, St. Sulpice, Schweiz

Spontaneously, upon first glance, my husband said: ‚Memoires become image‘. For anyone with an interest, this book is AN ABSOLUTE MUST.*

Dr. Petra Ernsting, Aboriginal-Art-Sammlerin

The book is indeed as BEAUTIFUL, UNUSUAL AND CAPTIVATING as promised!*

Dr. Peter Czermak, München

Thank you very much for this truly impressive book. I am delighted by the WONDERFUL READ.*

Stephanie Walda-Mandel, Referentin Ozeanien, Lindenmuseum, Stuttgart

I am enthusiastic about INDIGENIUS. The style suits me perfectly – it reads beautifully ‘despite’ its depth and density.*

Astrid Grell, Freiburg

We can only guess how much knowledge, dedication, and effort have gone into INDIGENIUS. But the result is simply MAGNIFICENT.*

Barbara und Prof. Dr. Günter Knieps, Kunstsammler und Aboriginal-Art-Liebhaber
