South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art Online

Christie’s online auction of South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art, taking place from 4-18 March, complements our live auction of works from this category, to be held in New York on 17 March. Together, these two sales celebrate a wide variety of artistic practices from the South Asian subcontinent and its diaspora across the 20^th and 21^st centuries.

The online sale includes excellent modern works on paper by artists Maqbool Fida Husain, Francis Newton Souza, Manjit Bawa, Prabhakar Barwe and Jogen Chowdhury, alongside those by their mentors and pioneers of regional schools like Abdul Rahman Chughtai, Walter Langhammer, Kamrul Hasan and Chittaprosad Bhattacharya. Rounding out the catalogue is a section of exceptional contemporary works by artists including Surendran Nair, Nilima Sheikh, Arpana Caur and Paresh Maity.
