PAINT in India, sell in London. Or New York. That seems to be the way hundreds of contemporary Indian paintings have travelled over the past 12 months or so. The auction at Sotheby’s in London this month was only another, and certainly not the last. An auction by Sotheby’s in India in 1989 with The Times of India and then again in 1992 had spun more controversy than money. The recent auctions abroad have struck dollars, about a million an auction.
