Indian Sculpture Today – Jehangir Art Gallery | Hardcover, 1983 Edition

This 1983 hardcover edition of Indian Sculpture Today is an important curatorial publication compiled by the Jehangir Art Gallery, documenting the evolution of modern and contemporary Indian sculpture over the latter half of the 20th century. Conceived as a comprehensive survey, the book brings together the work of India’s most influential sculptors during a transformative period in the country’s artistic history.

The volume features selected works of 29 eminent sculptors and 8 painters, presenting a broad spectrum of styles, materials, and artistic approaches—from figurative and narrative traditions to abstract and experimental forms. Each selection offers insight into how Indian artists reinterpreted indigenous sensibilities while engaging with global modernist movements.

Richly illustrated, the book serves both as a visual archive and a critical reference, making it invaluable for art historians, collectors, curators, and students of Indian modern art. Its scholarly yet accessible presentation reflects the Jehangir Art Gallery’s pivotal role in shaping and documenting India’s post-Independence art discourse.

Bound in its original hardcover, this 1983 edition stands as a significant record of artistic practice in India during the preceding fifty years, capturing the voices and visions that defined modern Indian sculpture.
