These are Edwin Lord Weeks’ ‘The Dance’ and Marius Bauer’s ‘Benares’. “The idea behind ICONIC is to show some of the most exemplary works of art created in the country,” says Kishore Singh, Senior VP, DAG. “These are museumquality works with elements of rarity.” Bauer’s work is also part of The Orientalists’ Benares, an exhibition opening on January 11 at DAG Mumbai as part of Mumbai Gallery Weekend.
