.-Prinseps are set to host their upcoming Modern Art Auction on 6 July at 7pm. The auction brings together a selection of highly researched and documented artworks by renowned modernists including M.F Husain, Manjit Bawa, Bhupen Khakhar, Prabhakar Barwe and Bikash Bhattacherjee amongst others.
The auction is led by Manjit Bawas iconic painting, Lady with Bird, 1999 (Lot 21, estimate INR 1,50,00,000 - 2,50,00,000). The painting depicts a simple figure of a woman holding a bird and is remarkable for its use of bright pastel colors and the interplay between the figures limbs, anatomy and space. The painting is an exemplary example of an artist whose work is rarely seen at auction.
