Sublime Shadows: South Asian Art Collection

Sublime Shadows: South Asian Art from a Distinguished Collection presents an exceptional group of works assembled between the 1990s and early 2000s with a discerning eye and deep passion. The collection focuses on the artistic legacy of Bengal, led by rare and captivating paintings by Ganesh Pyne and the distinctive sculptural practice of Meera Mukherjee.

A luminous 1971 canvas by V. S. Gaitonde anchors the sale, epitomising the non-objective, meditative style of the modern master. The 93-lot collection is further enriched by outstanding examples by K. K. Hebbar and Jogen Chowdhury, each representing significant strands within the evolving narrative of modern and contemporary South Asian art.

Thoughtfully assembled and meticulously preserved, this catalogue offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire important and compelling works by leading artists from the region. .
