The name of V.S. Gaitonde is revered in the annals of modern Indian art, but it shot out like a meteor in the firmament of the industry in 2013. That year, an abstract oil on canvas by the artist fetched ₹20.5 crore at a Christie’s auction in India. It was followed by a much publicized retrospective at the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in New York. Since then, Gaitonde’s work has featured in auctions regularly, though the ones appearing in a forthcoming Sotheby’s sale bear special significance.
