“Modern Indian Works on Paper” included about 50 works (in the media of watercolor, pen and ink, pencil, and gouache -- as well as prints) produced by Indian artists since 1947.  A broad range of Indian artists of the last six decades were included, from the members of the groundbreaking Progressive Artists Group (Souza, Husain, Ara, and Raza), to other first and second-generation Indian modernists who have excelled in the graphic media (Shymal Dutta Ray, Laxma Goud, Ganesh Pyne, et al), to younger artists who have emerged in the last two decades (Atul Dodiya, Nalini Malani).  The exhibition also included a series of prints by Krishna Reddy, whose inventive color printmaking techniques have been influential and widely acclaimed. 

The exhibition was curated by Jeffrey Wechsler, Senior Curator at Rutgers University’s Zimmerli Art Museum in New Brunswick.  

A fully illustrated color catalog accompanied the exhibition.  It included an essay by Yashodhara Dalmia along with descriptive entries for each works written by experts in the field.
