Mossenson Galleries, one of Australia's leading commercial galleries, was founded as 'Indigenart' in 1993 in Perth by Dr Diane Mossenson and her husband Dan.
In establishing Indigenart, Diane Mossenson was motivated by the fact that there was no other gallery in Perth dedicated to high-quality Indigenous and Torres Strait artworks. Mossenson took this pioneering outlook into the range and styles of artwork that she exhibited. Not content to follow others, she strove to exhibit challenging, innovative and exciting artists, rather than already established painters. Mossenson Galleries soon became defined as a trailblazing epicentre for the exciting emerging Indigenous art movement. The past decades reveal a litany of first solo exhibitions from artists who have gone on to define the Australian Indigenous art movement.
