Curated under the guidance of Prof. R. Siva Kumar, the show presents over 90 works, including rare oil paintings, drawings, reverse glass paintings, artist books, and archival material. The opening night brought together leading figures from India’s art world, Ravinder Reddy, Arpana Caur, Manu Parekh, collectors, and curators for an evening of dialogue, reflection, and celebration.
