Art has always elevated the soul and stimulated the mind, and is more than a mere investment. It is also an indulgence and an unabashed celebration of life. INDIAN ART - The New International Sensation - A Collector's Handbook provides a bird's eye view of the dynamic, multi-vocal and ever-shifting canvas of contemporary Indian art. Right from tracing the origins of drawing and painting in India, to the successful niche that new media and conceptual art have created for themselves, it details the coming of age of the Indian art practice. A veritable feast for the sensibilities, it offers to hone the 'eye' of a new or young collector, who wishes to start an art collection with the aim of eventually evolving it into a legacy. Aesthetics of appreciating and understanding Indian art, and invaluable advice on framing, lighting, insurance and restoration etc make this a must have for anyone interested in Indian visual culture.
