The Indian art market is strengthening and is on an upswing. A recent art wealth management report by Fortune has claimed that the Indian art market has risen 485% in the last 10 years making it the fourth most positive art market in the world. The art investment market has made its presence on Indian shores and a wide range of ancient and modern abstract and contemporary artworks are now available in art galleries and leading auction houses. The increasing awareness of Indian contemporary artwork and master in recent times has led to an exponential growth in pieces of art with contemporary works selling for record-breaking prices by prestigious auction houses.

Over the last decades, the era of art has played an important role in keeping up the wealth of ultra-high net worth families. Today as a result of the growth in the art industry not only artists but also wealthy families, sophisticated investors, and their close advisors overcome a complex set of financial and managerial needs based on art wealth management.

Leading artistic auction houses are focusing on prolific members of the progressive artist’s group such as M.F.Husain, S.N.Souza, and S.H.Raza among others at the top end of the price ranges and of other moderative figurative and abstract artists.
