The publication delves deeper into the background of the Schoo Collection, the artists Schoo followed - often from the earliest beginnings of their careers. Paying attention to artists such as Jaya Ganguly, Bhupen Khakhar, Sheila Makhijani, Surendran Nair, Jangarh Singh Shyam, Aji V. N., the tantric artists Raja Baby Sharma, Ghanshyam Nimbark, Acharya Vyakul, and many others.

 

These works of art can be seen together with other works of art from the collection of Museum Arnhem in the exhibition Winged Woman, offering a new perspective on contemporary art from India and show how art from different cultures and eras can be connected; it shows the power of art as a universal language. 

 

The exhibition is open to visit until 21 September at Museum Arnhem. It consists of two parts, the first part can be seen until 1 June, the second part - with a new seleciton of works from the Schoo Collection - can be seen from 7 June to 21 September.
