Published by Marg, Mumbai, 2014
Hardcover. Condition: New. International Edition. The Bharanys, discerning and passionate art collectors, amassed a broad range of art that now resides in major museums both in India and abroad. Their collection is striking in its diverse geographic range and array of mediums, as well as the way in which it brings to light largely undiscovered regional styles of painting. In this volume, essays by leading experts in their fields showcase particular facets of the collections and the family's central role as 20th-Century Indian art collectors.
