Demand grows for Indian art
Last year Tayeb Mehta's Mahisasura stunned the art world by becoming the first piece of modern Indian art to be sold for over a million dollars. At Sotheby's Asia week today two more paintings by Raza and Tayeb Mehta have crossed the million-dollar mark. Falling Figure with Bird by Tyeb Mehta and Tapovan by SH Raza were just two of over 200 pieces of modern Indian art that went under the hammer at the Indian and Southeast Asian Art sale at Sotheby's.
