Saffronart said
Saffronart recently held an interactive seminar on Modern and Contemporary Indian Art Today at the Saffronart Gallery in London. This discussion is part of a series of interactive seminars hosted around the world by Saffronart, as part of its efforts to increase awareness and broaden the discourse surrounding modern and contemporary Indian art.
In this panel, the participants – Amrita Jhaveri, Girish Shahane and Dinesh Vazirani, engaged with the words ‘Modern’ and ‘Contemporary’ and explored how they fit with Indian art, in order to gain a more comprehensive insight into the ways in which Indian art is classified and understood. All three participants are regarded amongst the foremost experts in Indian art. The panel discussion coincided with the Frieze Art Fair (15 – 18 October, Regent’s Park), a showcase of contemporary art in London.
The hour-long audio discussion has been uploaded on the Saffronart website, along with the transcript. We would appreciate if you could provide a link to the discussion on your website. The same can be accessed at
