Other notable exhibitions and galleries include the Young Contemporaries Exhibition at the RBA Gallery in London in 1958, the Ahmadu Bello University and British Council Galleries in Nigeria, the Beckel Odille Boïcos Gallery in Paris, and at GV Art in London.
An illustrated study of the folk bronzes of Rajasthan, a large state in Northern India, with chapters in the historical setting, the folk bronzes, the casting process, and the present scene. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs.
