To this store, Chemould Frames, came the likes of K.H. Ara, M.F. Husain, S.H. Raza, F.N. Souza, and others who called themselves the Progressive Artists Group. Husain sold his first canvas from that very window. Kekoo Gandhy brought in the few rich buyers there were in those days including the scientist Homi Bhabha and the industrialist Naval Tata.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the 1960s, the manager of the Jehangir Art Gallery invited his friends Kekoo and Khorshed to start an art gallery in an empty space on the first floor. On 16 September 1963, Gallery Chemould opened its doors to the world with an exhibition of paintings by K.K. Hebbar, V.S. Gaitonde, Laxman Pai and several others from the growing community of Indian painters. It became the training ground for the eyes of the city.\u003cbr\u003e\nEventually Chemould moved to an expansive new space: Chemould Prescott Road, now run by their daughter, Shireen Jungalwala. The gallery’s new avatar continues to champion modern art with a range of brilliant artists from Vivan Sundaram through Neelima Sheikh and Atul and Anju Dodiya, to Jitesh Kallat and Reena Saini-Kallat.\u003cbr\u003e\nDid Gallery Chemould play midwife to the Progressives? Can a gallery be a responsible citizen?
