Let Art be Colour-Blind
Mehlli Gobhai always believed that a retrospective spelt mortality and should be a posthumous event
The canon of Indian abstract art includes the likes of V.S. Gaitonde, S.H. Raza and Ram Kumar, but Mehlli Gobhai’s will be on view at the National Gallery of Modern Art till April 25 and, according to Ranjit Hoskote (who has curated the show with Nancy Adajania), it is designed “precisely to demonstrate the richness of Mehlli’s work, of a compelling and inspired 70-year quest”.
