Hues Who

Dr Amin Jaffer,Director of Asian Art at Christie’s Auction House,is a delightful guide,neither heavy-handed nor patronising. For instance,after the talk,Chandra shoots an informed question: “Tell me,do we often see themes of private angst that are reflected in the works of women artists like Anju and Frida Kahlo?” To this,Jaffer answers: “Yes we do especially in the works of several women artists belonging to a certain generation.” And so the talk goes on.

A tour of Vadhera over,the ladies are shepherd into an air-conditioned bus and transported to their next art destination—Peter Nagy’s gallery Nature Morte. Here,the group explores further the nuances of art. After lunch at Zest,they are off to the Devi Art Foundation in Gurgaon where Rashid Rana’s curatorial effort on contemporary art from Pakistan give them a glimpse of aesthetic thinking from across the border. “Being part of talks like this changes and deepens one’s perception of art. It’s not just a social event,” says Jain. Bhavana’s brother Nitin Bhayana has been a collector for many years. “Getting involved through a process like this helps me form my own opinions,look within myself and develop my taste,” she adds. For her part,Mittal has been involved with the Vadheras for many years,“Besides exchanging ideas and comparing notes,I’m looking forward to their next event involving children in art that goes beyond the class rooms and curriculum,” she says.

The FICA team adds that the club will have many more events.
