Shop online for art

From MF Hussain, to SH Raza, works of renowned artists will be on sale online next week along with 60 other masterworks. Asta Guru is an online auction house, set up by Vikram Sethi, which will host this sale on its website. A few of the pieces on auction date back to the 1940s around when India got its independence.

Some works are from the 1950s and 1960s when the Indian art movement was creating an impact in their own thinking style and moving away from the traditional subjects which were commonly seen during the British Raj. The collection includes many that can be acquired by upcoming collectors to kickstart their collection. Other artists whose works will be featured include FN Souza, Ram Kumar, Anjolie Ela Menon, Shakti Burman, Krishen Khanna, Akbar Padamsee and Jogen Chowdhury to name a few.

A private viewing for the same will be held at Institute of Contemporary Indian Art Kalaghoda.
