In its very first year, India Art Summit™ attracted over 10,000 art enthusiasts over a span of three days which included art collectors, investors, artists, critics, curators and students from across India and overseas.
The 34 exhibiting galleries at the fair exhibited over 550 contemporary & modern artworks and sold approximately 50%, making India Art Summit one of the most successful first editions of an art fair across the world.
In 2009, India's art fair promises to be much larger; showcasing the most diverse range of paintings, sculptures, contemporary photography, concept, installation and digital art by established and emerging artists.
With over 60 top galleries from India and the larger Asian region, showcasing alongside western galleries, India Art Summit will offer to the world, a rich and fulfilling art experience in India.
India will be represented by leading galleries like Bodhi, Vadehra, Espace, Chemould Prescott, Nature Morte, Apparao amongst others, while important galleries from key Asian regions will participate alongside some western galleries.
