Sadequain Foundation Partnership
Preserving and sharing a national treasure
Gallery 21 has established a dedicated permanent space for the works of Sadequain, one of Pakistan's greatest artists, in collaboration with the Sadequain Foundation (USA). This partnership ensures that Sadequain's celebrated calligraphies and paintings remain accessible to the public.
The collaboration includes curated exhibitions of high-quality giclée reproductions of Sadequain's iconic works, educational programming, and archival efforts to preserve his artistic legacy for future generations.
“Art must be accessible to everyone — not confined to elite spaces. Through Gallery 21, we strive to bring the masterworks of artists like Sadequain to ordinary people who might never have had the chance to experience them.”
