“KOLKATA: Till five years ago, Indian artists shared space with their western counterparts in shows abroad to lend prestige to their portfolios. Today, artists from the West are finding it commercially viable to work and exhibit their canvases in India in a reversal of the trend.”
Tyeb Mehta’s “Mahisasura” sold at Christie’s auction in London in September 2005 for USD $1.6 million.
