Introduction This Exhibition of recent acquisitions of Modern South Asian Masters is first a celebration of our new gallery premises at 35 Bury Street, in the heart of St James’s. It is also a celebration of fifteen years of dealing in Modern Artists from India and 35 Bury Street Pakistan. This catalogue is testament to our journey and we look forward to many London SW1Y 6AY more surprises along the way. The Grosvenor Gallery has a longer history as it was started in the 1960’s, then +44 (0)20 7484 7979 dealing in Italian Futurists and Russian Avant-Garde. In 1999 we dealt successfully [email protected] for a few years in the remainder of the old stock from this period however it became increasingly apparent that the material was simply disappearing into museums. So we decided to invest in Post War works and started acquiring largely Modern British works and put together some very good collections. At the same time we also looked at Souza, who had exhibited with Grosvenor Gallery in the 1960’s and I was very interested in this artist then viewed as a bit of an outsider by the British. We collected and acquired works and did a show in 2002 which did well and then another show in 2003 which did better. That gave us the confidence to acquire in depth and also to look at other Indian artists who had worked in Europe, Husain, Raza, and Padamsee. Luckily our timing was good and our shows coincided with a new wave of Indian collectors chasing these then largely under-appreciated artists. Today we stand as one of the most highly regarded galleries in this field. Dealing is a precarious career, with lows and highs; despite this we are very happy doing it. None of this would have been possible without our friends, colleagues and clients and a very large thank you to you all. I hope that our next years will be as successful and we very much look forward to welcoming all our families, friends and colleagues to the Grosvenor Gallery. However, I would like to make a separate thanks to our team at the Gallery past and present without whom none of this would have been possible. To Ray Perman, for his generosity and unflinching support. To Charles Moore my fellow Director, who’s dealing skills is as good as it gets. To Kajoli Khanna, Associate Director, who runs the gallery brilliantly and who is a much loved figure in the Indian Art World. To past staff, Gauri Agarwal, Emily Austin, Vinita Agarwal and Justin Fitzpatrick, and lastly to Anne, whom I married and to our great children, Millie, Harvey and Samuel, Thanks.
