THE SECOND edition of ‘Art Expo 2009’, the international art exhibition, is scheduled to open in Mumbai on September 25. This is a truly ambitious project, one conceived on a grand scale and which will be a major showcase for contemporary Indian art. The curators of top international art galleries and museums have been invited to be a part of this exhibition.
 
Also present will be some of the region’s biggest art afficionados and collectors, prominent art critics, as well as scores of journalists and eager-to-learn students. The idea is to project Indian art on to the international arena by featuring a careful selection of top Indian art galleries. A well-conceived programme made up of special exhibitions, seminars and talk shows will be the exhibition’s other attraction.

Last year’s exhibition was a major success. Some of the prominent galleries which featured their collections were- The Arts Trust and The Osmosis Gallery (Mumbai), Arushi Arts and Ashok Art Gallery (New Delhi), Kalakriti Art Gallery (Hyderabad), Eca Emamichisel Art (Kolkata) and Marvel Art Gallery (Ahmedabad). The exhibition was attended by luminaries of both the art and the corporate world, all united in their common appreciation for Indian art. Tanya and Arvind Dubash, Pheroza and Jamshyd Godrej, Nancy and Ranjit Hoskote, Niranjan Hiranandani, Kumaramangalam Birla, Yash Birla, Bina and Talat Aziz and Poonam Dhillon were some of the high profile visitors.

The key note address will be delivered by Kay Saachi, she will talk about spotting new talent and building a new collection.

The other speaking sessions will be a conversation between Girish Sahane and Gulam Sheikh.
A session on valuations where Menaka Kumari Shah from Christies would give a talk on buying art in recessionary times. The panel would consist of her, an art dealer and one artist.

Where design meets are – By Bose Krishnamachari

Dr Alka Pande will talk along with a slide show about sex in Indian artistic traditions, followed by a discussion, the other panelists are Lawyer Satish Manashinde and probably Shoba De.

Amongst the galleries that are participating in the fair are Gallery Sara Arakkal, Art Musing, Apparao Art Galleries, Ashok Art Gallery, Archer Art Gallery, Kalakriti Art Gallery, Institute of Contemporary Indian Art and AstaGuru – Online Auction House.
