Art and commerce...
... come together for Indian art.
This is great news, and all the artists who are reaping the benefits of this bull market in Indian art deserve it. The auction mechanism works beautifully in revealing the true market value of a painting, and I'm puzzled as to why it isn't used much more at the primary stage of selling art. Artists would benefit more from their work, then, instead of dealers.
There's surely an opportunity here.
