Organiser

Gallery Chemould (Mumbai, India), 

National Gallery of Modern Art (Mumbai, India)

To commemorate its 40th anniversary in 2003, Gallery Chemould held an exhibition at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Mumbai. It included works by 50 artists from a span of four generations. Rather than simply showing a succession of works that had passed through the gallery, curators Geeta Kapur and Chaitanya Sambrani wanted to explore and even challenge the perceptions of modern Indian art. Therefore, the artists presented were not directly affiliated with the gallery in terms of dealership. According to Kapur and Sambrani—who, like the artists, are also separated by a generation—the exhibition is intended to be an invitation to engage with the multifariousness of modern Indian art. The exhibited works included painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and video art.

On the eve of the exhibition, The Perfect Frame, a book by Karin Zitzewitz, was released. The book documents Kekoo Gandhy's crossing of generations and his participation in the modern Indian art scene over the past four decades.
