Asian Art Museum: Maharaja Splendor of India’s Royal Courts

October 21, 2011 through April 8, 2012

” To hype its exhibition “Maharaja,” which opens Oct. 21 and explores the realm of India’s legendary kings, the museum hired Patel to cover the museum’s exterior with his effervescent Pop Art, transforming the stodgy gray neo-Classical-style building into a bright tableau of color and Hindu whimsy.In November, the museum will hand Patel the keys to an interior gallery, where it will present his Disneyesque illustrations, a magical kingdom of mythic Indian characters, in a show called “Deities, Demons and Dudes With ’Staches.”
