India’s financial power has enabled the galleries to identify the fairs they can attend and the fairs they attend.
“We are not affected by the weak markets in the West,” Javiri said. “We can keep selling it home.”
As Hena Kapadia, owner of Tarq Gallery in Mumbai, said: “This is a good time to be an Indian musician and a good time to be an Indian gallery.”
Just like Kapadia’s plan to Hong Kong, she recalled the success of the Indian Art Fair in New Delhi in February. “There are a lot of global travelers,” she said. “Indian art is passionate all over the world.”
The Tarq compartment in Hong Kong will undoubtedly be a solo exhibition for Mumbai musician Saju Kunhan, which actually creates a series of paint on recycled teak wood boards based on images of his mother and dad’s wedding celebrations, created by “Big Date #1, May 11, 1980” (2024).
