New York-based art historian and gallerist, Mr Sundaram Tagore delivered a lecture entitled “India Modern: Art from 1857 – 2000”. Outlining the evolution of Indian modernism, Mr Tagore asked, if modernism is the rejection of tradition, how does a 5,000-year-old traditional culture manage to make modern art? A question which also underlined the entire thesis of the fair.
