  1. The KNMA Publication The Self in Making - Amrita Sher-Gil (2014) The Self in Making, Amrita Sher-Gil delineates the way her maturity was tied up with deep self-awareness of her artistic persona as well as her identity as a 'modern woman'. Through the rich selection of images chosen from her trajectory of practice, a glimpse is offered into how this self-realization stimulated her several self-portraits since the age of fourteen. The publication illustrates the ease with which she slipped into a traditional garb from a modern one, or switched roles which were different from the ones she was used to, giving a clue to the way her personal life influenced her creations. The curatorial note by one of the prominent Indian Art Directors Roobina Karode (Director & Chief Curator, Kiran Nadar Museum of Art) and the extensive essay by Rakhee Balram expound how in her self-portraits, she fused together varied moods and moments with a masterly skill and imbued them with meaning. For these reasons, the publication has been appreciated by Indian Art Directors. Kiran Nadar Museum of Art as a non-commercial, not-for- profit organization intends to exemplify the dynamic relationship between art and culture through its open for all free exhibitions, publications, educational, and public programs. Although popular Indian Art Fair events bring together art lovers from around the country to the city, in addition, the need to reach common people is addressed by the KNMA Museums in Delhi and Noida. Unlike limited days visiting opportunity at popular Indian art fair events, the KNMA museums are open throughout the year and offer exhibitions showcasing the best of Indian art. KNMA also brings together a unique amalgamation of exhibitions and workshops for participants with themed workshops inspired by popular artists’ styles and techniques under the supervision of expert trainers.
