The two-day auction, showcasing a collection of over 200 artworks, will present bidders with masterpieces of some of the finest Indian modernists.

The works of revered Bengal School artist Nandalal Bose, Padma Shri awardee K Laxma Goud, and iconic modernists SH Raza and Krishen Khanna will go under the hammer for the first time in AstaGuru's upcoming 'Collector's Choice' Modern Indian Art auction on June 20-21.

Leading the 'Collectors Choice' auction line-up is a 1941 work by Bose. The tempera on paper work, featured in an auction for the first time, depicts the immortal imagery of Radha and Krishna churning butter.

Through vibrant colours and intricate details, as well as the serene expressions and graceful postures of the figures, the work evokes a sense of harmony and embodies the spirit of divine love. It will be offered with an estimate of ? 15-20 lakh.

"The ability to acquire artworks at different price points presents a chance for both seasoned and new art connoisseurs to expand their collections with diverse pieces. It encourages exploration and discovery, enabling them to uncover hidden gems and lesser-known artists that might otherwise go unnoticed," said Sunny Chandiramani, senior vice president (client relations) at AstaGuru auction house.
