State of the Art

|April 07, 2025
The Indian art market is at a tipping point and likely to grow exponentially over the next few years with a younger breed of collectors fuelling growth.

In 2023, Saffronart—India’s leading auction house that is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year—sold an Amrita Sher-Gil painting called The Story Teller for ₹61.80 crore, way above its estimate of between ₹28-38 crore, creating a record for Modern Indian Art. But in mid March this year, that record was shattered when Christie’s sold Maqbool Fida Husain’s Untitled (Gram Yatra) for $13.75 million (₹119 crore), making it the most expensive Modern Indian painting ever sold. In April last year, online auction house, AstaGuru sold a stainless steel and resin sculpture by Anish Kapoor for ₹9.61 crore, almost double of its estimate of ₹5 crore. The recently concluded 16th edition of the India Art Fair, the country’s largest art exhibition saw a record number of 120 exhibitors with galleries such as Vadhera Art Gallery selling 90 per cent of their booth on the first day with prices ranging from $2,500 to $300,000, including works by Sudhir Patwardhan, Atul Dodiya, Shilpa Gupta, and Vivan Sundaram.

GROUNDWATER OF THE CONSTITUTION
On June 26, RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said the quiet part out loud. He wanted a discussion on whether the words 'secular' and 'socialist' “should remain” in the Constitution's Preamble. He said Ambedkar never used these words and argued that they were smuggled in during the Emergency. The 50th anniversary of the Emergency was seemingly a good occasion to discuss deleting them altogether.
