At a literary event organised by The Hindu, the Supreme Court judge known for his order in the case against M.F. Husain too, said that he often wondered what made artists and writers like Perumal Murugan, Husain and Khushwant Singh take on the status quo.
Constitutional principles of freedom of speech and expression weigh overwhelmingly in favour of the artist and cannot be disturbed, Justice Kaul said at The Hindu Lit for Life Festival.
The collaboration will have both the physical painting, created by Husain in 2000, and an NFT of the work, along with the Modern and Contemporary South Asian auction next month.
