Overview

The Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art auction on March 19 in New York will feature masterworks from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Some of the most important and avant-garde artists from India and the subcontinent will be represented, including an exceptional painting of the Apsara Tilottama by Raja Ravi Varma, a monumental semi-abstracted landscape by Sayed Haider Raza from 1980 as well as several iconic works by Maqbool Fida Husain, Francis Newton Souza and Ganesh Pyne. Also featured in the sale are two important Bikash Bhattacharjee works from the collection of one of his earliest patrons, Helen and Herb Gordon, the American Consul General to Calcutta in the late 1960s. This sale will also feature an exciting and diverse selection of modern and contemporary photography of India, including Margaret Bourke-White’s Mahatma Gandhi, The Spinner, identified by Time Magazine’s as one of the “100 most influential images of all time.” The auction is capped by a dynamic group of modernist sculpture by stalwarts such as Sankho Chaudhuri, Prodosh Das Gupta and Somnath Hore.
