Specialist note

"I knew Bose from 1995-96 in Delhi. He was a guy I always admired as he was the engine of the contemporary art world. I consider him as the Andy Warhol of India. He was always there, with so much energy and keeping people together, a mover and a shaker. He still is today and has never changed, even now with his work on the Kochi Biennale. It should be Bose. He was already doing those things in the 90s, it’s a logical step that he initiated the Kochi Biennale." — Willem Baars
