ASIA WEEK NEW YORK EXHIBITION
A Selection of Pahari Painting and Other Works of Art
March 19 – 27, 2026
Online and on view in London by appointment only
The Pahari Rajas commissioned the most passionate, enigmatic, and at times some of the greatest Indian paintings. This year the Cincinnati Art Museum, The Cleveland Art Museum and National Gallery of Asian Art in Washington, D.C. are working together to research, publish and display works from the Pahari Kingdoms from the Catherine Glynn Benkaim and Ralph Benkaim Collection.
We have the pleasure of showing a small group of paintings from the various Pahari schools. These paintings explore themes such as portraiture, including the fierce and frightening power of Kali, the lyrical landscapes of the Punjab Hills, and how their artists chose to depict emotions such as despair, desire and anger.

How to Look at Indian Miniatures
As part of our exhibition with Frieze Masters Francesca Galloway discusses how to look at Indian painting and explains the nuances of two historical works in the contrasting Hindu and Mughal styles, both dating from the 16th to 17th centuries. These works, which will both be on display at Frieze Masters this year, reveal not just the aesthetic sophistication of Indian art of the renaissance era, but the reciprocal influence of Eastern and Western art, a key theme that runs throughout the fair.
