Over sixty works by leading modern and contemporary artists will be displayed at The Aravalli (the newly refurbished banquet hall on the first level) and in Saffronart’s new gallery space. Highlights include works by Nicholas Roerich, Jehangir Sabavala, Bhupen Khakhar and Tyeb Mehta. The preview coincides with the opening of the India Art Fair, now in its 10th edition.

Saffronart first opened its gallery at The Oberoi, New Delhi in 2011, with a landmark retrospective of works by modernist V S Gaitonde. It has since established itself as a premier exhibition space in the capital.
