Art and Commerce “Marry” in New Delhi

Subodh Gupta - 'Cosmic Battle' (detail), 2009 - bronze, paint, wire and lights. - Gupta focuses on the shifting of national identity and cultural change.

New Delhi, India – In
2008 New Delhi-based Subodh Gupta,
known for sculptures created from hundreds of pieces of shiny kitchenware,
joined the tiny list of Indian artists whose work has sold for over a million
dollars. In Delhi, it seems, art has become good work if you can get it. But
if million-dollar sculptures are out of your league, you can still admire the
stuff at one of a series of new spots around the city dedicated to the business
of marrying art with, well, business.
