Of the fall and rise of art mart

January 28, 2008

While ECA, even though it has started with a Rs 50 crore budget in its first year, expects to take things slow and easy - its two other auctions planned for this year are on modern artists, and sculpture and collectible art ("like postcards," says Bachhawat, "or wooden toys made by [M F] Husain").

Triveda, on its part, has been silent, its website not updated on the results even of its second auction many months ago. Apparao, like ECA, seems to be rooting for artists from the east and the south. And Bid & Hammer, though offering a mixed melange, is simultaneously linking art with collectibles, accessories and the innards of house sales.
