Presented at the Gaur Collection’s home gallery, this exhibition explored modern Indian art through drawings, watercolors, etchings, and lithographs. The works revealed the possibilities of paper as a medium for experimentation, intimate observation, and the development of new artistic languages.

The exhibition was developed collaboratively with graduate students in Rutgers University’s Department of Art History through a curatorial seminar taught by Professor Tamara Sears. Working directly with the collection, students researched individual artworks and developed connections across artists, techniques, and themes.

The project was subsequently expanded for presentation at the Grinnell College Museum of Art in 2022 and accompanied by the Mapin publication Paper Trails: Modern Indian Works on Paper from the Gaur Collection.
