The Purushottam Public Trust Artist Portfolios
PUBLICATIONS
The Purushottam Public Trust engages contemporary artists and creative enterprise in the interest of future artists and enterprise. This intent finds expression through our host of initiatives, as well as the activities and efforts that guide, nurture and fund the Trust.
As part of this continued endeavour, to promote young talent in the field of Printmaking and create interfaces within the artistic community and with the public at large, the Trust has a publishing arm. We focus on publishing relevant literature as well as portfolios of artists’ works, including limited prints, for the purposes of awareness, promotion and fundraising.
In keeping with these efforts, we offer limited editions of fine prints by some of the leading
contemporary artists on sale. The proceeds from all sales are used to sponsor, inform and inspire future generations of print makers.
Beginning with Anant- an endless celebration of graphic art- these carefully curated portfolios of artistic works bring together a wealth of artistic talent, technique and expression. We consistently engage with artists to bring fresh and inspiring works to the fore; therefore do check in with us from time to time to view our current collections.

Anant brings together limited editions of fine prints by past students of Shri P. D. Dhumal, collating these works into four stirring portfolios. Commemorating his retirement from the Department of Graphic Arts at M. S. University, Vadodara, the collection pays homage to the role, inspiration and light he offered to his students. In many ways, Anant is a gurudakshina - a gesture of gratitude- from past students, which set the foundations to the Trust.
The portfolio is organized into 4 volumes, each of which can be viewed via the links below. Alternately, you can download a PDF file of the catalogue here.

Coming to life through the chiseled recessions into a metal plate, be it etching, aquatint, dry-point or mezzotint, Intaglio is one the most versatile methods of printmaking.
Intaglio printing, unlike surface printing, requires a great deal of pressure to emboss the paper into the incised lines. Because different approaches can produce a wide range of effects, intaglio procedures are undoubtedly the most versatile of printmaking technologies.
Rising to popularity in the mid 20thcentury in India, artists from varied backgrounds have indulged and experimented with this fascinating and sensitive art form. The unique techniques and variations that evolve make the process and the artwork vivid and impacting.
This portfolio has been created especially for the India Art Fair 2023, an initiative by artists. The works can be viewed via the links below. Alternately, you can download a PDF file of the catalogue here.
