Regarded as one of India’s finest abstractionist artists Mehlli Gobai passed away in mid-September, 2018, about a fortnight before the issue of Out of Print 32 was released. His biography is widely available and commentary on his works by Shireen Gandhy and the Chemould Gallery, by Nancy Adajania and Ranjit Hoskote who are curating his retrospective show, as well as responses to his loss by Jerry Pinto, Ram Rahman, Dev Benegal and others are widely accessible. We do not reproduce them here but by featuring his work on the cover of this issue we pay tribute to a fine artist and a true gentleman.
