India Art Summit™ 2009 Update

The 2nd edition of India Art Summit™ will represent the best of Indian art as well as provide a first-ever opportunity in this region for international art to be received by a large & discerning audience. Even in the current economic climate, there has been steady international interest from both galleries and audiences keen on new & emerging art markets.

India Art Summit 2009TM will host 55 galleries, 38 from India and 17 from around the world. From the 34 galleries in its inaugural edition, the fair has already grown by over 50% in its 2nd edition. 30 of the galleries this year are a part of the fair for the first time, having based their decision to participate on last year’s success.

The exhibitors list reads most of the significant galleries from India and sees representation from all the major metros across the country. Works exhibited by these galleries will cover all genres of Modern and Contemporary Art, ranging from the old masters to the emerging artists, simultaneously encompassing a diverse range of mediums, from paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture to photography and digital media.

Galleries from South-East Asia will bring in artists from Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, China, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines. Participation from the United States will showcase Indian art including artists from the Indian diaspora, whereas the European exhibitors will showcase not only the luminaries of the western world, such as Julian Opie, Anish Kapoor and Tony Cragg, but also artists from the lesser known markets, such as the Netherlands and Latvia.

Expect a world-class event in New Delhi, as the 2nd edition of India’s Modern and Contemporary Art Fair, India Art Summit™ takes centre stage.
