Figuring the Abstract in Indian Art

The Peabody Essex Museum,
161 Essex Street,
Salem, Massachusetts, USA
Apr 05, 2014 To May 31, 2015


Detail: This installation of 20th-century paintings and 15th- to 19th-century sculptures explores the concept of abstraction as a vehicle for embodying form and meaning. Moving beyond culture and across time, these works consider style, structure and color, as well as the figurative, metaphorical and idealized as key facets of the abstract.

The works on view are drawn from PEM's Chester and Davida Herwitz Collection, the most important holding of 20th-century contemporary art from India in this country, the Dr. Leo Figiel Collection of bronze sculpture and The Tina and Anil Ambani Collection, one of India's leading private collections.
