"Dreamy environments and the fastidious, fine-line portraiture quintessential to Indian and Persian miniatures are celebrated in this exhibition of over 40 paintings spanning the 17th through early 19th centuries. Get close enough to these bite-sized works, and you might just be transported to the ornate Mughal and Mewar courts. The show is supplemented by a display of Persian pottery from the Rabenou family collection, primarily consisting of 12th- to 13th-century star tiles, turquoise-glazed jars, and glimmering Kashan lustreware."
"Sotheby's initiates the Breuer Building into Asia Week with an exhibition of the late Indian-American artist Zarina, known primarily for her geometric prints and sculptures at the intersection of minimalism, migration, and memory. This selling exhibition is anchored by 'Flight Log' (1988) - a rarely seen work comprised of bookbound cast paper referencing Zarina's time as a member of the Delhi Flying Club - and bolstered by a series of topographical woodcuts."
