Painters, sculptors, printmakers, teachers, they have made a name for themselves, but in the absence of their work being shown nationally—rather than regionally, as has been the norm—many have remained outside mainstream discourse. At DAG, it has been our effort to ensure their rediscovery and recognition, something we continue to do with our Silver Series, fixed-price online sales. The outstanding success of the first two editions is an indicator that art-lovers also have an appreciation for lesser-known names, as well as those whose works do not appear frequently in the market. Our endeavour with every edition will be to continue to surprise you with the mix of artists and the quality of their work. I hope the additions in this edition will bring you joy. If you miss any favourites, I assure you that you will find them in subsequent editions.

Arpana's introduction to paintings cam via sculpture after her tutelage under B.K. Gura. In the main, however, she is a self taught artist. She had a scholarship for advanced course in painting in St. Martius College of Art London 1979 but chose to return after a month as she missed her home & India. Her earliest exhibited paintings of 1974, of heavy muscular and rogynous women, are in a sombre palette. From the outset, she located her figures in the Punjabi milieu adopted by Amrita Sher Gil of women with their veils and thick khadi salwar-kameez texture on which the "Phulkaries" of Punjab could be embroidered. However Sher Gil's havelis and open spaces become congestive city pavements darkened corners, and Sher-Girl's melancholic figures of the "other" Indian appropriated by Arpana Caur as the tragic self. The relative isolation of the small urban family and the complexity of Arpana's own situation , of a fraught childhood with separated parents is seen in early paintings of her mother, her grandfather, and herself of the family selectively severed and then rejoined.

  • The Series, the Sea Raging Towards the Beach Under a Stormy Sky, Having Allowed Chaitanya to Merge with It
    The series The Indian Fine Art Sale Edition 1 24 - 26 August 2020 The series 50 ARTISTS 50 WORKS 24 - 26 August 2020 The Indian Fine Art Sale FIXED-PRICE SALE For further information please contact us at [email protected] Ashish Anand CEO and Managing Director, DAG FROM Ashish Anand’s Desk I am delighted to share with you the first edition of our Gold Series sale e-catalogue—a platform that brings to you works of high quality with commensurate values. All works in this series are priced between Rs. 5 lakh and Rs. 20 lakh. When we launched the Silver Series in May 2020 as our attempt to stay engaged with art-lovers no longer able to visit our galleries, we were unsure of the response. But the feedback we received was heartening, and it was backed by commensurate sales to prove that the art-loving fraternity supported the initiative and gave it a resounding thumbs-up. The Silver Series was modest in its ambition in terms of prices (between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 5 lakh) and its fourth edition will follow immediately after the first Gold Series sale. We have other plans in store that I will share with you as they develop. Meanwhile, the DAG Bespoke series for customised audiences has also been launched, which—as the name suggests—remains exclusive and, therefore, intended only for a small group or body of people, many of who may be first-time art buyers. While price is an important indicator, and separator, between the Silver and Gold sales series, I must point out that it is not the only differentiator.
