Art has always been considered the cornerstone of society. For centuries it has been one of the best record keepers of the time gone by. As a reflection of the current times, it has the power to nudge us to improve what we must, in life and society. The brilliance of our artists has helped put Indian contemporary art on the world map. The robust growth path seen over the last few years has been a combined effort of a bevy of professionals such as curators, critics, business heads, educators and many more. Recognizing this, BW Businessworld, India’s leading business fortnightly for over four decades, spotlights the dynamically growing Indian contemporary art market.
