In 1963, after over a decade of toying with the idea, Kekoo Gandhy set up Gallery Chemould on the first floor of the established Jehangir Art Gallery in south Bombay’s Kala Ghoda area. Kekoo saw his responsibilities as surpassing those of owning and operating a frame shop and an art gallery—he wanted to build an institution of and for Bombay’s modern art. His three broad objectives were to showcase a wide variety of modern Indian art at the gallery, to promote Bombay’s art in other Indian cities, and to take Indian art abroad. Shanoor Seervai traces the history of Mumbai’s Gallery Chemould as it reaches its fiftieth year of supporting modern Indian art.
