Exhibited
Germany, Freinsheim, Surya Galerie Catalogue note In the Times of India, 1972, the art critic Richard Bartholomew discussed the rise of printmaking in India from the 1960s. Within this discussion, Bartholomew described Devayani Krishna as 'perhaps the maturest printmaker in India'. '[She] brings both a philosophy and sensitivity to printmaking that are exceptionally rare. Her prints carry the impress of a mystique, besides being technically interesting'. (R. Bartholomew, quoted in R. Bartholomew. C. Kagal and P. Bartholomew (eds.), Richard Bartholomew: The Art Critic , BART, Noida, 2012, p. 76)
