Pablo Picasso

Up Next

Between February 7 - March 2, 2006, the first-ever Pablo Picasso exhibition in a private gallery in India received an unprecedented response from art collectors, general public and the press.
The 40 works on display, which included drawings, etchings, lithographs, linocuts, ceramic plates, aquatints and a couple of round dish prints, covered major art movements of the 20th century – facets like Cubism which Picasso founded and Surrealism which he flirted with.
 

As Conor Macklin of Grosvenor Gallery rightly pointed out in a press interview (Ashoke Nag, ET, February 8th, 2006), “Just like Souza, Tyeb Mehta, Gaitonde and Husain enjoy international reach and demand, Picasso has a place in India. The idea is to test the waters in India which is now on par with the overseas markets. We are staging an exhibit in Delhi just like it would be staged in Los Angeles or Tokyo. India can become a destination for the international art world." 

After this successful collaboration, we have set up Grosvenor Vadehra Gallery in London in October 2006.
