"South Asian art continues to grow in prominence via landmark exhibitions and sales both in the region and afar, a phenomenon that is reflected at the India Art Fair (IAF) in New Delhi, whose 17th edition (5-8 February) will be its largest yet, with 87 galleries. "This year marks an important step in building new bridges for South Asian art-taking its talent to the world," says Jaya Asokan, the director of IAF."
"Among those is India's third national pavilion at the Venice Biennale, whose existence is a notable achievement considering India's sporadic presence at the biennial. Curated by Amin Jaffer and co-organised by Ashvin Rajagopalan, the exhibition will feature five artists: Skarma Sonam Tashi, Sumakshi Singh, Alwar Balasubramaniam, Ranjani Shettar and Asim Waqif, almost all of whom have shown solo presentations or commissions at the fair."
South Asian art is increasing its global prominence through landmark exhibitions and robust sales both regionally and internationally. The India Art Fair in New Delhi will present its largest edition with 87 galleries, expanding visibility for regional artists. The fair has served as an incubator for many artists who now headline major international exhibitions. India's third national pavilion at the Venice Biennale will present five artists, several of whom previously participated in the fair. Recognition of Indigenous artistic practices is rising domestically, supported in part by government initiatives aimed at uplifting rural communities.
