For the second time around, the Art Expo will be held in Mumbai (September 25 to 27). Three participating international galleries open up about their expectations from the Mumbai art market...
ARTSEEFIELD GALLERY, SWITZERLAND: What’s their aim of coming to Mumbai? A representative from the gallery says, “When I was first looking for modern art in India some 14 years ago, it was hard to find any gallery with contemporary art. Since then, the situation has changed and the rising popularity of Indian contemporary art made Indians aware of modern art. Now there are new collectors in India that have a fresh open mind and are looking for great new art and we intend to bring some of it to them. Also, it is an opportunity to find Indian contemporary art to be represented by our gallery in Zurich.” With them, they bring works of artists Pablo Siebel (Germany), Karin Felder (Switzerland), Hernry Deparade (Germany) as well works of artist Fernando Leal
Audirac (Italy).
1X1 ART GALLERY, DUBAI: Look forward to an interesting series of works in metal, wax and tar combined with digital imagery and sounds of artist Chittrovanu Mazumdar. A representative from the gallery says, “We mostly deal with Indian contemporary art. Naturally, the Indian market is extremely important to us. So we are promoting the work we do in Mumbai.”
ART COMPANY, JOLRONG, BANGLADESH: Artists like Dilara Begum Jolly, Rokeya Sulatana, Atia Islam Anne, Mostafa Zaman, Najib Tareque, Subrata Das and Musrat Reazi will showcase works based on social realities. Imrad from the company says, “Our company represents the art of Bangladesh. We want to step into the international art market and Mumbai is the right place to start.” He adds, “The Indian art market is much more mature than that of Bangladesh and so it is extremely important that we make a solid mark on the Indian Market. We believe that both India and Bangladeshi arts have a similar history and share a common culture. There should be many more cultural exchange programmes between two countries for people to learn from each other.”
