Noted historian and museologist Deepthi Sasidharan held the audience captive with her interesting talk on how important it is to preserve a master artist’s legacy. Sasidharan, one of the most respected in her field, has worked on several projects with the Government of India, Private and Corporate clients on preservation and archival projects.
She emphasised the need for collectors to come forward and work together to preserve and document the artistic legacy of master artists like Raja Ravi Varma. Giving examples of projects that she had partaken in, Sasidharan addressed an audience of over 600 people, some watching her lecture via Zoom, while others logged into the live streaming on Facebook.
Her hour long session was beautifully presented with adequate pictorial references and anecdotes from personal experiences. Sasidharan also answered more than 40 questions that were posed by the audience on the need of restoration and documentation of such important art works.
