The DNA lauds AEI as a showcase of cutting edge art works

'Admire to your art's content' is the apt title of a news report (dated: September 25) by Francis H D’Sa in DNA, a leading national daily. It mentions:

"The three-day long Indian Art Expo 2009 - one of the largest art fairs devoted to modern and contemporary Indian art - opened at Nehru Centre, Worli on Friday (September 25). "
Outlining the uniqueness of the expo, Francis H D’Sa notes that the event now in its second year now, showcases a wide mix of eclectic, exciting and cutting edge art works. The writer added:
"A series of interactive sessions with international experts like Kay Saatchi, Judith Greer, Princess Tatjana Zu Schaumburg-Lippe and Kirsty Ogg demystify the language of art. The art expo is also a high-profile meeting ground for art dealers, gallery owners, museum curators, consultants, collectors besides artists, and a shopping event that presents a wide array of works by modern, contemporary and upcoming artists -- ranging from paintings and sculptures to prints and photography.

The expo has been organised by Vickram Sethi who heads the Trade & Technology Exposition Co (India) Pvt Ltd. "In comparison to the international art markets, the Indian art market is in a very nascent stage. Given the present technological advancement, it is only a matter of time before the market grows at a rapid pace," said Sethi. "I expect a bigger response since the other markets are down; there are more chances of people investing in art than there were before,"
he added.
