Indian Art

Indian Art: The New International Sensation – A Collector’s Handbook by Dr. Alka Pande is a comprehensive introduction to the development, appreciation, and collecting of contemporary Indian art. Published by Manjul Publishing House in 2008, the book provides a broad overview of Indian artistic practice, tracing its development from traditional drawing and painting to modern forms including new media and conceptual art.

Rather than functioning only as an art-history survey, the book is designed partly as a practical guide for new and emerging art collectors. It discusses how to look at and understand Indian art, while also providing practical guidance concerning framing, lighting, insurance, restoration, and building an art collection.
