Raghubir Singh was undoubtedly one of the greatest colour photographers of his generation. He produced around fourteen books - all of them on India - the country where he spent the major part of his life. He was only 56 when he passed away in a massive heart attack in New York in 1999 - at the peak of his career. The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York is showing a collection of 85 photographs from his collection titled Modernism on the Ganges.
The exhibition shows Raghubir's work right from the sixties to the early nineties including some unpublished photographs from his collection.
Some of the great photographs which are on display are reproduced below. All photographs in this post are copyright © Succession Raghubir Singh .
