Nature Morte proudly launches its bold new Salon Series, a dedicated vertical for International and Indian Modern Art, led by gallerist Devashi Jain. This initiative marks a significant expansion of the gallery’s vision, creating a trusted space for discerning collectors to engage with artworks that have stood the test of time, both from India and across the globe.

The series opens with its inaugural exhibition, Salon: The India Way, curated by Poonji Nath, at Nature Morte, Colaba, Mumbai, from 15 August to 15 September 2025. Inspired by the historic Paris Salon, the exhibition brings together modernist works from Europe and India in a densely hung and intellectually charged display. By placing Indian masters such as Manjit Bawa, Ram Kumar, Zarina Hashmi, FN Souza, Tyeb Mehta, and Sadanand Bakre alongside iconic European artists like Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Signac, and Eugene Delacroix, the show reimagines modernism as a shared, simultaneous movement rather than a one-way inheritance from West to East.
