Main issues that Indian artists have to face
Becoming a successful artist is almost like a lottery in which you work for years just to get a ticket. Those who reach the rarefied world of echoing galleries and champagne receptions typically arrive there after long periods of insecurity and struggleful soul-searching. The intermediate world of aspiring artists is crowded, chaotic, and generally ignored, […]
Contemporary Indian art stand in today’s global art scene
Indian artists are being actively collected by international museums, and exhibited in challenging modes within the biennial circuit.
