This well-curated collection includes several important works from prolific periods in the artists’ careers, many of which come from significant collections within India and abroad.

Speaking about the collection, Sneha Gautam, Vice President- Client Relations, AstaGuru, said, “The demand for modern Indian art has increased exponentially in the last year, the Indian art auction market having its strongest year ever. The Indian auction market witnessed the highest turnover to date with the demand for the Moderns increasing by over 65% from the previous financial year. This further substantiates the great potential in the Indian art market, and while seasoned collectors continue to expand and enrich their collections, new bidders are constantly seeking to acquire works at every price point. This has inspired AstaGuru to curate an auction that presents the best that modern Indian art has to offer at varied price points where budding collectors can acquire quality works to commence their journeys, while at the same time allows seasoned buyers to acquire a masterpiece that defines Indian modernism.”
