Art
for Freedom is an
exciting and unusual auction, showcasing
work by a spectacular range of contemporary
Indian artists. At a time when there
is a gathering buzz around Indian
art, and prices of many Indian artists
are breaking through the glass ceiling,
Art for Freedom presents
a tremendous opportunity for art lovers
and buyers across the globe.
It will feature
more than 80 canvases by both established
masters and a newer generation of
cutting edge, emerging voices.
Artists whose works are part of the
show include Akbar Padamsee, Jehangir
Sabavala, M.F. Husain, Jogen Chowdhury,
Satish Gujral, Anjolie Ela Menon,
Paresh Maity, Atul Dodiya, Sunil Das,
Shuvaprasanna and Prasenjit Sengupta,
among others.
A unique aspect of the Art
for Freedom auction is that
many of the art works are a collaborative
effort between the artist and an eminent
citizen either from the world of cinema,
music, literature, politics and business
-- creating canvases of great curiousity
and value.
The proceeds of the auctions will
go towards Tehelka,
in support of independent media.
