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.
