In the public eye:

the ups and downs of public art

Public art is designed to engage people in their surroundings: a visualinstallation acts as a bridge, connecting the public to the space aroundthem. Traditionally reserved for commemorative statues and memorialsin town centres, the domain of public art developed after the 1960s civilrights movements, when people began to claim urban spaces as theirown. The regeneration of built-up areas after the Second World Warplaced more of a value on public space, transforming sculpture froml a at at t a pa t t w t, ppl, a appal t t at al tt. Att as Henry Moore became prominent producers of public art: combining aa al t t t atalt wt a atat,Moore was viewed as the voice of British sculpture following the war.In recent years, the sphere has developed into a thought-provoking artform which constantly challenges the boundaries of space to ask ques-tions about community, our relationship to each other, our place withinour environment, and what constitutes art. Today, public art continues topak at a all al t.

Ourpresence is a lot about looking at art and since you are on the ground, you witness what is happening ont tpa ia at , pall a all a all a , w lat tarts district of Mumbai, and we are a central part of the art world here. More increasingly we are also herefor our clients who might have questions, who are interested in buying abroad or just like to receive acondition report or a piece of advice regarding an artist they just have discovered. What has changed since2013: now we are looking at material for both our international and domestic sales.

T a wk tat a atal pta a t t -ment has restricted their export. Some of our international collectors might be Indians and have homesin India, so if this is the case they are welcomed to bid on these lots too.

Idias growth has stad i rct yars, ad yt th uxury markt is vr-growig. Why is this?I think people who are looking to spend in this price level are still willing to spend. I believe an artwork qalt wll alwa ll 2008 a 2009, ppl w pa tp p qalt ararity. So in a sense, the market has seen some sort of leveling, but at the same time, we sold the most
