Exhibition of Foy Nissen photography

Dear Friends,

Foy Nissen’s Bombay presents an extraordinary archive of photographs that will finally be available to the people of Mumbai. We are delighted to invite you to the preview of the exhibition at 6pm on the 14th of March, 2019 at the Jehangir Nicholson Gallery, CSMVS.

The show represents over fifty years of work by a lensman who combined a keen sensibility with a quiet discipline. Foy Nissen photographed people, places, festivals and monuments and his images of the city are invaluable to the preservation of Mumbai’s heritage. This exhibition also celebrates the generous gift by the estate of Foy Nissen, of the complete range of his photographic work to the Jehangir Nicholson Art Foundation.

Chief Guest, Justice Gautam Patel will deliver the opening address Mumbai’s Architecture: The Shifting Lens.

We look forward to welcoming you to the preview.

Warmly,
Kamini Sawhney,
Curator, JNAF
