Once an artist sells everybody starts singing hymns to him. It speaks volumes on the contemporary art market when you see mediocrity celebrated. Bharti Kher is even more mundane but look at the prices. Her claim to fame : a new medium of expression : the Indian Bindi. How ridiculous ! Anybody who knows the art market will tell you how the internals of this narrow and clique ridden market work. The test of art, any art, is in longivity, not temporary name and fame..

What perplexes me the most is to watch how the pricing of Subodh Gupta is going to shape up in the years to come... There was this huge escalation in his prices and then there was a sudden slump.. I hope the art market recovers soon for the better Kind regards Harssh Shah Hi
