AUCTION 2003 (MAY) (6-8 MAY 2003) : Sales and Enquiries

Saffronart has been acclaimed as one of the most comprehensive and definitive sources for Indian modern and contemporary art today. Since its inception, Saffronart has been a major proponent of contemporary art by providing artists with greater opportunities to engage an Indian and global audience, as well as providing individuals corporates and institutions with access to a substantial range of art, information, and advice.

Combining a series of critically acclaimed exhibitions across the globe with a strong online presence, we have made access to Indian contemporary art both easy and instantaneous. In addition, we have been involved in several activities in India that encourage the development of Indian contemporary art and provide greater exposure to its artists to an international audience. Following in the wake of four very successful online auctions, Saffronart's fifth online auction features a collection of 127 Lots by 53 established and emerging artists of Indian contemporary fine art. The auction will take place exclusively on www.saffronart.com, allowing serious collectors as well as first time bidders, world wide, to place their bids over a period of three days as opposed to a few hours in a live auction giving more decision making flexibility.

Saffronart will also preview a selection of paintings at the Taj Mahal hotels in Mumbai and Delhi to provide bidders with an opportunity to view select lots. The preview events are part of a recently announced partnership between Saffronart and the Taj group of Hotels, which seeks to bring together the best of contemporary Indian art together with the best in hospitality. Both companies will jointly present a series of events on order to pursue a common goal: generating a greater global awareness of and appreciation for India's heritage and artistic tradition.
