In 2019, British comedian Ricky Gervais was caught up in an art scandal when his Netflix series After Life featured fake Indigenous art hung prominently in the background of a set.
The large painting was an unauthorised copy of a 1987 work titled Tingari Dreaming by Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, a senior practitioner of what international art critic Robert Hughes once labelled the last great art movement of the 20th century — the Papunya Tula Art Movement.
