Warlugulong is a painting by Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri that in 2007 set a new price record for a contemporary Indigenous Australian artwork sold at auction. Painted in 1977 and owned for many years by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the work was sold by art dealer Frank Ebes at auction on 24 July 2007. It was purchased by the National Gallery of Australia for A$2.4 million. The painting portrays the story of an ancestral being called Lungkata, together with eight other dreamings associated with Clifford Possum`s country. It exemplifies a distinctive painting style, developed by Papunya Tula artists in the 1970s, that blended representation of the landscape with ceremonial iconography. Art critic Benjamin Genocchio has described Warlugulong as "a work of real national significance one of the most important 20th-century Australian paintings".
