Christie’s held their Indian Modern and Contemporary sale yesterday in the midst of many questions about the fate of Maqbool Fida Husain’s market.
The auction house’s head of Asian art, Hugo Weihe, feels his house vindicated the master who died earlier this year with a bit of a Husain-a-palooza:
“As a tribute to the late Maqbool Fida Husain, we were thrilled to have offered 13 modern works by him, all of which were 100% sold totaling $4.2 million. Husain’s paintings achieved eight out of the top ten lots, a testament to the great master.”
