From a romantic comedy play to an exhibition of celebrity portraits, Verve gives you the lowdown on the events that should be on your radar this weekend…

ART

India’s Rockefeller Artists, Mumbai

Several of India’s celebrated artists benefited from grants enabled by John D. Rockefeller III, that had them travel to the US and expand their oeuvres, indulging in a cultural exchange of sorts. Featuring the works of many Indian painting maestros including V. S. Gaitonde, Tyeb Mehta, Jyoti Bhatt, Bhupen Khakhar, Ram Kumar, Akbar Padamsee, Rekha Rodwittiya and Paritosh Sen, this exhibition takes a closer look at their relationships with art and the American milieu, as well as J.D. Rockefeller III’s impact on the Indian art landscape.
India’s Rockefeller Artists is on display at DAG (58, Dr. V.B. Gandhi Marg, Kala Ghoda, Fort), Mumbai until February 16. 

The Quiet Portrait – Exhibition of Photographs by Rohit Chawla, New Delhi

Leading contemporary photographer Rohit Chawla has clicked some of the most noted names of our times, from artists and actors to authors and politicians. A new exhibition in the capital will give viewers the chance to explore these black-and-white images, each one giving us a unique glimpse of the personality. With photos of Robert De Niro, Vikram Seth, Jeff Bezos, Narendra Modi, Sonia Gandhi, Gulzar, Ai Weiwei, Tina Brown, Anish Kapoor, Frank Gehry, Ratan Tata, Pandit Jasraj, Shahrukh Khan and many more on display, this exhibit promises a starry showcase of poignant portraits.
