a) Transferences , London: Zwemmer Gallery, June–July 1958 Unpaginated, illustrated with black-and-white reproductions; softcover 11 x 5 in (28 x 13 cm)Transferences was a landmark exhibition showcasing the works of Commonwealth artists, including prominent Indian painters S H Raza and F N Souza. The exhibition featured a diverse group of artists such as Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker, Paul-Émile Borduas, Jean-Paul Riopelle, John Coplans, Denis Bowen, and Maud Sumner, among others. The catalogue includes black-and-white reproductions of selected works and provides insights into the artists' contributions to the evolving landscape of abstract and modern art within the Commonwealth. Notably, this exhibition is considered to have inspired the establishment of the Commonwealth Biennale of Abstract Art, first held at the Commonwealth Institute in 1963. This catalogue represents a significant moment in the international recognition of modern Indian art. The inclusion of Raza and Souza highlights their pivotal roles in the global abstract art movement during the mid-20th century. The exhibition's influence extended beyond its immediate presentation, contributing to the broader discourse on Commonwealth artists' contributions to modern art.?

This monograph is considered a foundational reference in early Raza scholarship and is increasingly scarce, especially in well-preserved condition.
