In Association with
Artists and connoisseurs of ‘art’ have often found it difficult to convey the value of art. In fact, Edgar Degas once remarked that “art is not what you see but what you make others see”. But, it looks like we are finally seeing it, with ‘art’ emerging to be an interesting asset class. Aura Art and IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) recently launched an art index after taking into account data of over 9,000 paintings auctioned of about 100 Indian artists over 20 years. Will this be the much-needed launchpad for Indian art and artists to go global?
Join us for an interactive discussion with the creators of IIMA-Aura Art Indian Art Index (IAIAI) as we discuss the evolving legal, commercial and tax landscape concerning Indian art. The session will be followed by a guided walkthrough of the show titled “the line that rules” of paintings by abstract master Yusuf.
