“Abby Grey and Indian Modernism: Selections from the NYU Art Collection” Exhibition
Grey Art Gallery
This event has ended.
In the wake of India’s independence from British rule in 1947, the country’s artists experimented with new approaches, forming its first modernist schools. During five trips to India from the late 1960s to early ‘70s, Abby Weed Grey—founder of NYU’s Grey Art Gallery—explored this burgeoning art scene. Abby Grey and Indian Modernism: Selections from the NYU Art Collection spotlights her pioneering collecting efforts, which resulted in a significant trove of post–Indian Independence art in the United States. Featuring approximately 25 works alongside documentation of Mrs. Grey’s travels, this exhibition examines Indian modernism through the lens of her ardent engagement with India and its art.
