Titled, "Anjolie Ela Menon: Through the Patina", the book narrating the personality and creative life of the eminent artist is filled with pictures and essays on her life and work spanning 55 years.
"It feels great when your life's work gets transformed into a book. I thank all the people who have constantly supported me all these years. I couldn't have been where I am without their support."
"I hope the Hindi translation of the book inspires more and more budding artists," said Menon at the book launch.
