[Reader-list] commercialisation of fine arts in india

[Prayas Abhinav]

Hi Irfan & Abhishek,

Indian Express ran a feature in its Sunday magazine on art as an
investment. They mentioned The Art Trust (I think managed by the same
people as the Sakshi art gallery) who is tarting India's first fund
for investment in art. They seem to have a pretty comprehensive site.

I read Amrita Jhaveri's book (in fact I bought it), it does index the
prices of most big-name artists in India. The Art Trust website
actually lists the factors which collectors perceive as affecting the
value of art and its price.

But this does seems to be a very interesting exploration.

best wishes,
prayas
