Lot Essay

Harold Leventhal's relationship with art and India was notable for his friendships with South Asian artists including Maqbool Fida Husain and Satish Gujral. He helped to coordinate a number of ground-breaking Contemporary Indian exhibitions in the U.S., showing works by Jamini Roy, Maqbool Fida Husain and Satish Gujral, enactments of theatre by Rabindranath Tagore and screenings of work by the filmmaker Satyajit Ray. Harold Leventhal's personal collection portrays his profound appreciation and friendship with some of India's leading artists.
