THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

It would be quite in order to say that Indian contemporary artists are fairly established in the global context of the art world. Works of Indian contemporary artists are increasingly showcased in major biennales, museums and institutions internationally as well as are included in the sales of the most renowned auction houses worldwide. In spite of the lack of infrastructure within the country, we have witnessed the coming of age for a number of Indian contemporary artists such as Atul Dodiya, Amar Kanwar, Subodh Gupta, Bharti Kher, Sudarshan Shetty and Jitish Kallat to name a few. Most of these artists are being represented by some of the premium art galleries in the world like Hauser & Wirth, Marian Goodman and Galleria Continua, amongst others.  In the last ten years, there has been an accelerated awareness of the concept of an art market in India. There are more exhibitions, auctions; publications, awards and media exposure, which are increasing the understanding of this dynamic world.
