History[edit]
Art Musings was founded in 1999, well before the emergence of the area’s ‘gallery district’. Art Musings has been a trailblazer both in terms of the artists it represents and the exhibitions it has organized both in its own space and at such major venues as the city’s Jehangir Art Gallery.

Art Musings has presented the work of legendary Indian modernists such as S.H. Raza, M.F. Husain, F.N. Souza, K.G. Subramanyan, Ram Kumar and Satish Gujral, all members of the first generation of post-colonial Indian artists. The gallery has a long-term relationship of collegiality with stellar practitioners of distinctive approaches such as Anjolie Ela Menon, Sakti Burman, Baiju Parthan, Paresh Maity and Jayasri Burman.

Art Musings is associated with an artist renowned in the domain of global contemporary art, Nalini Malani. Among the younger artists with whom the gallery works are Raghava KK, Shilo Shiv Suleman, Smriti Dixit, Gopikrishna, Maya Burman, Ajay Dhandre and Nilofer Suleman, their trajectories encompassing many diverse directions on the compass of contemporary art.

In 2017 Art Musings exhibited the works of Sakti Burman in a retrospective at the esteemed National Gallery of Modern Art in Mumbai, entitled ‘In the Presence of Another Sky’ featuring over 300 works from the artist’s illustrious career, curated by Ranjit Hoskote. [6]
