The department of Indian Modern Art presents original modern Indian art paintings produced by the doyens of modernism in the subcontinent from the late 19th century to the late 20th century.  Born out of a cross-cultural curiosity, Modern Indian Art can be characterised as an eclectic assimilation of western techniques with Indian tradition and temperament in the backdrop of schismatic socio-political events. The canvas and sculptures from the period essentially capture the ideas, sensibilities, beliefs and scenes that reflect the making of India.  

It was the age of freedom coming to life with the emergence of a revolutionary class of artists. The venerable modern Indian art artists such as Maqbool Fida Husain, Sayed Haider Raza, Francis Newton Souza, Amrita Sher-Gil, Jamini Rao, Nandalal Bose, Vasudeo S. Gaitonde, Tyeb Mehta, and Akbar Padamsee among others have defined the movement of Indian Modern Art as the age of expression.

AstaGuru was conceptualized with the vision to focus appreciation towards the category. We have spearheaded the market for modern Indian artwork by consistently setting new benchmarks. The department has successfully curated the finest art for sale from eminent provenance and collections that can breath life into any home, living room or office decor. Setting international records for famous artists such as Tyeb Mehta and Ganesh Pyne, AstaGuru continues to fortify its legacy of being the pioneer online auction house for Modern Indian Art.
