Acquired directly from the artist, Hyderabad, 1970s
Born in 1949, D L N Reddy (Laxmi N R Dubbaka) obtained a Diploma in Painting from the Government College of Fine Arts and Architecture, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. Between 1970 and 1971, he studied print-making at the Faculty of Fine Arts, MS University Baroda, on a scholarship. His works have been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, for instance at Kala Bhavan, Hyderabad, the Hyderabad Art Society (where he was awarded a gold medal in 1972) and Lalit Kala Akademi. Reddy was close friends with K. Laxma Goud and Devraj Dakoji, and the artists showed their works together a number of times, including at Surya Galerie, Freinsheim. Reddy’s prints have been housed in many important collections, such as the National Gallery of Modern Art and Lalit Kala in New Delhi, and in the Library of Congress in Washington DC.
