INDIAN ART SOARS HIGH
INDIAN ART has never failed to impress and Christie’s South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art and the Arts of India sales held in June once again proved it. From the Early Bengal School creations to modernist landscapes, the magnificent range shone like never before. Much like last year, the sales featured Vasudeo S. Gaitonde’s (1924-2001) Untitled, sold for £10,28,750. Abhiman ( Wounded Vanity) by Hemendranath Mazumdar (1894-1948) was another piece that did really well in the auction and was sold for £5,48,700. A previously unseen sculpture by G. Ravinder Reddy – Untitled ( Goddess) – also sold for £1,00,000.
