Valerie Murray-Chandra was married to Avinash Chandra. She contributed an Introduction to the catalogue accompanying Avinash Chandra: A Retrospective, held at Osborne Samuel LLP/Berkeley Square Gallery, 23a Bruton Street, London W1J 6QG, 2 - 18 November 2006. Taking place some 25 years after the artist’s death, this was a substantial showing of his work, coming with a sizeable, extensively illustrated catalogue.
From the Introduction, by Valerie Murray-Chandra:
“I beg your indulgence in allowing my mind to wonder through the decade spanning 1975 to 1985. I will share with you a little corner of the life of Avinash chandra the artist, magnificent chef, mischievous schoolboy with a wicked sense of humour, generous friend, exceptional party giver, jazz lover and serious poker player.”
