A retrospective at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art celebrates six decades of the creative life of eminent artist Gulammohammed Sheikh

WORLDLY WISE

How did you come up with the title 'Of Worlds Within Worlds' for the retrospective?

I was living in a small town in Gujarat and a world opened for me when I joined the Faculty of Fine Arts in Baroda in 1955. I went to England in 1963 and a third world opened to me. I saw all the great works of art. Then I travelled within India. This wanderlust has been with me from the beginning. 'Of Worlds Within Worlds' seemed apt for this journey.
