\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrom M F Husain to S H Raza, A Ramachandran to Sakti Burman, the modernist masters continue to command attention, and they get dedicated spaces marking significant milestones. Notable among these is the birth centenary celebrations of K G Subramanyan and Satish Gujral. Delhi Art Gallery\u2019s exhibition \u201cIndia Past and Present\u201d has the final sculpture by Gogi Saroj Pal, who left us last year, a striking sculpture titled Hathyogini Kali 1, towering in blue. Nearby, M F Husain and S H Raza hold court. It also features a 90-year-old oil on canvas of Krishna surrounded by gopis by M V Dhurandhar, painted for the ruling family of Kolhapur, and paintings of the same muse by artists Jogen Chowdhury and Sunil Das.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt the Dhoomimal Gallery is a Raja Ravi Varma portrait alongside canvases of other renowned modernists, but also their smaller works on paper. \u201cWe understand that several of the bigger works have a higher price-point and the smaller works are also meant for younger collectors, a way for them to acquire works of renowned masters,\u201d said Uday Jain, director of Dhoomimal Gallery.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
