Exclusive Art Gallery, currently showcasing a remarkable collection of M F Husain’s works at Stall No. 28 at the King’s Crown Convention in Hyderabad, has become a key institution for preserving and promoting the legacy of the legendary Indian artist. Founded in 2017 by Fida Husain, nephew of M F Husain, the gallery has played a crucial role in making his art accessible to a global audience.

During Husain’s self-imposed exile from 2006 to 2011, he lived with his nephew in Dubai and Qatar, continuing to create significant works. Much of the art produced during this time was preserved and managed by Fida, who later took the initiative to return a collection of Husain’s original works and serigraphs to India, marking a new phase in his legacy.

With locations in Mumbai and Baroda, Exclusive Art Gallery has gained recognition for hosting high-quality exhibitions and supporting contemporary artists. Through showcases at international venues such as the V&A Museum in the UK, World Art Dubai, and the Doha Art Festival, the gallery has introduced Husain’s works to a wider global audience.

Currently, visitors at the India Art Festival in Hyderabad can experience an extensive collection of Husain’s original works and serigraphs. 

The exhibition, which runs until today, offers a unique opportunity to engage with the artistic brilliance of one of India’s most celebrated painters.

Fida Husain’s dedication to preserving M F Husain’s artistic heritage ensures that his work remains appreciated by audiences worldwide. Exclusive Art Gallery continues to uphold Husain’s legacy, providing rare opportunities for art lovers to witness the timeless creations of India’s foremost modern artist.
