Dr Achinto Sen Gupta (1932-2013) was born into a family originally from Dhaka, in what is now Bangladesh. He grew up in West Bengal and Ranchi in Bihar, and completed his higher education in Germany. He worked as a food scientist with Unilever in Hamburg and later for Walter Rau in Osnabruck and Neuss. Throughout the 1970s and 80s he collected the work of contemporary Indian artists while visiting family in Ranchi and Calcutta. It would have been whilst on one of those trips that these three works were acquired.
