The reviews page was also a guest book
The saved page mixes visitors’ reactions with a passage attributed to a 1998 magazine review; those forms of approval make different claims.
Two kinds of text share one heading
The historical Reviews page begins with visitor messages about paintings, the website and school assignments. Much later, it presents a passage attributed to Femina, dated 15 December 1998, about an exhibition at the Artists’ Centre in Mumbai. The saved page is evidence that the site displayed those texts. The original magazine issue and the authorship of individual messages have not been independently authenticated here.
A visitor and a reviewer do different work
A guest-book message records a response to an encounter. The attributed magazine passage instead names an exhibition, media and compositional qualities. Putting both beneath Reviews can make them appear like one continuous public judgement. Keeping their provenance separate gives a reader more usable information than simply repeating the compliments.
Historical reception is not a current testimonial
This edition does not reuse those messages to endorse its own work, reproduce private correspondence or infer sales from praise. It preserves the page’s particular role in the earlier gallery: visitors could leave a trace of viewing, and the artist could assemble a reception history. That is worth reconnecting without pretending the new publication inherits the approval.
