“A Beautiful Friendship: Husain and Herwitz” highlights the pivotal relationship between Maqbool Fida Husain and patrons Chester and Davida Herwitz, whose support shaped Husain’s career and the modern South Asian art market. The exhibition presents works from 1958–2009, revealing Husain’s dramatic, communicative style, his rise to international acclaim, and the enduring impact of patronage on his practice and the broader recognition of Indian modernism.
