There is a big retrospective exhibition of the late Raghubir Singh opening September 30th at Sepia Gallery at 148 W 24th St New York, NY 10011. Check the web site or call (212) 645- 9444 for more details.
Singh as you may know revitalized the use of color in Indian photography. Given he spent so much time in India, one may mistakenly think that would be an easy task.

Therein lies his genius. If you have seen his book on the ubiquitous Ambassador car you'll know what I am talking about.
