This book scans the work of a particular group of Indian sculptors for what might be distinctive about contemporary Indian sculpture in general. It discusses the historical and social background, philosophical premises and technical arguments which might have contributed to the development of this unusual body of work. It seeks to provide some understanding of the framework and practical directions in which contemporary Indian art is moving and hazard some answers to its whys and wherefores. The book consists of a major essay on the subject and biographical presentations of seven sculptors who form a distinctive school. The major essay recounts the historical tradition of Indian sculpture, discusses the impact of Western art upon it and focusses upon the efforts of this group of sculptors to work off the weight of Western ideas. The work of this particular group of sculptors is described as an intelligent attempt not just to subvert the hegemony of Western methodology and tradition on Indian art but also, and more importantly, to formulate an expanded discourse founded upon the resources latent in traditional Indian thought and sensibility.

In A Fragile Inheritance Saloni Mathur investigates the work of two seminal figures from the global South: the New Delhi-based critic and curator Geeta Kapur and contemporary multimedia artist Vivan Sundaram. Examining their written and visual works over the past fifty years, Mathur illuminates how her protagonists’ political and aesthetic commitments intersect and foreground uncertainty, difficulty, conflict, and contradiction. This book presents new understandings of the culture and politics of decolonization and the role of non-Western aesthetic avant-gardes within the discourses of contemporary art. Through skillful interpretation of Sundaram's and Kapur’s practices, Mathur demonstrates how received notions of mainstream art history may be investigated and subjected to creative redefinition. Her scholarly methodology offers an impassioned model of critical aesthetics and advances a radical understanding of art and politics in our time.
