A Secret Private Museum Initiated Jogen Chowdhury's Rare Works

Sharing an important news from the art world a SECRET MUSEUM initiated by artist JOGEN CHAUDHRY is on its way to open end of the year Priyasri Patodia is sitting in Jogen’s private 3 floor museum in Kolkata which will be showing his works from his days in Paris pre Paris post Paris and his rare works including academic   years his first water color his first cross hatch etc.

Priyasri Patodia of Priyasri Art Gallery will be Associated with this museum closely. This museum will open to public hopefully by end of this year. Why don’t others master  artist initiate private museums so the rare pieces of heritage is available to masses and not to selected few who have the pockets. Artist imitated museums are more common in developed countries and we are happy many private collectors are also following suit. Art can cannot be possessed by anyone people buy them pass them on to their heirs who may not treasure them.

The anonymous collectors don’t even ensure the destiny of the Art on other occasions immediate families of artists fight for possessions of these priceless pieces which lead to secret sales and the fate of the masterpiece is uncertain. Must say Jogen Chowdhury has had vision to make this museum with his rare works which be governed by a group of trustees ensuring that the works live for posterity. Kudos.
