Bombay was the epicentre of the art movement in the 1960s, a point of reference for DAG’s exciting new show in the city. It was a period when the genre-driven arts matrix of Bombay city gave way to abstraction, a norm that had become established in New York. A radical new language developed around an arising group of young artists making bold experiments. Within the celebratory environment of The Kala Ghoda festival DAG fittingly opens it's to the exciting new exhibition—The Sixties Show.
This Show, brings together the most significant Indian artists of the 1960s is aimed at drawing attention to the feverish pace of art practice in the 1960s, an important decade during which the pull of the Progressive Artists’ Group remained strong, Group 1890 was established, and experimentation in indigenous solutions became the norm. This significant exhibition carries artists from the Progressive Artists’ Group (such as S. K. Bakre, F. N. Souza, M. F. Husain, and Krishen Khanna); Group 1890 (such as Himmat Shah, Ambadas, Jyoti Bhatt and J. Swaminathan); India’s folk modernists (such as Jamini Roy and Madhvi Parekh); as well as other high modernists (such as, Bikash Bhattacharya, Shanti Dave, George Keyt, G. R. Santosh, and Anupam Sud).
