Pick of the week: ‘Visions of Mughal India: The Collection of Howard Hodgkin’

Artist Howard Hodgkin's collection of Indian paintings is on display at the Ashmolean in Oxford  

As you will know from the regular collecting stories in Homes & Antiques magazine, many of us have a weakness for something in particular.

For abstract painter Howard Hodgkin it’s Indian paintings, and he has amassed one of the finest collections – over 100-strong – of these works in the world, dating from c1550-1850. It is currently on display in its entirety at the Ashmolean in Oxford until 22nd April, in ‘Visions of Mughal India: The Collection of Howard Hodgkin’.

Colourful Indian art and antiques are big news this year, so we heartily recommend a visit.
