Posted by Aboriginal Art Directory | 25.05.08

Each month we will publish the top search phrases on the Aboriginal Art Directory. This feature provides a fascinating insight into what information is being sought across the industry. Which artists are popular at the moment? Which artist is everybody talking about? Who has recently been in the news?

Followed by Adam Hill, Minnie Pwerle tops the most searched artist again for April with the Mervyn Rebuntja artist slideshow and Nyree Reynolds artist slideshow proving the most popular.
