Box Two: Mother

This image shows a work that is part of the exhibition, 'The Sher-Gil Archive: An Installation.'

Excerpt from Kamala Kapoor, The Art Of Vivan Sundaram, Lustre Press, Roli Books, New Delhi, 2002:


'The articles, all personal possessions, seem to define themselves in a sphere outside their materiality. This makes for a subtle interplay of emotional elements that recalls, as if through mists of time, the long-departed presence and social milieu of the original owner.'
