Article on Indian Art

MODERN ART (INDIAN)
The term 'Modernism'is used for the wide range of experimental
and avant-garde trends in art that emerge from the middle of the 19th centuary, as most of these artists rebelled against traditional Historicism. later, through 20th century,'Modernism' became the urge of artists to reject previous tradition, and creating individual,original techniques. In the 1950's there was a surge in artists craving for an identity that was new and yet reflective of India. And,since then,these artists have been the modernists, who subtly brought about a revolution in Indian Art. To name a few, these include SH Raza,Tyeb Mehta,Akbar Padamsee, KG Subramaniam,MF Hussain,FN Sousa,KH Ara,Krishen Khanna,VS Gaithonde,Jogen Chowdhary.

CONTEMPORARY ART (INDIAN)

abroad. Some of the known Contemporary Indian artists are Subodh Gupta, RiyasKomu,Jittish Kallat,Chintan Upadhyay, Bose Krishnamachari among others.

Should your frame be glass or acrylic?

The wrong framing material can ruin your collectible painting, thereby diminishing its value. That is why you need to be extra vigilant when choosing a frame.

What is better – glass or acrylic? That depends entirely on the painting. Conservation quality glass is great for artworks with large frames, as it probably won’t bow and is more resistant to scratches. However, glass breaks easily. That is why some collectors prefer to use acrylic on their very expensive paintings. It is safer and lighter – a plus for artworks that need to be shipped.

The more important thing to focus on is the filtering capacity of the material. Choose only frames that have conservation quality glazing – meaning, they can filter out at least 97% of ultraviolet rays. Such glazing will keep your artwork from fading because of bright fluorescent light, bright incandescent light, or sunlight.

How to transport art ?

:

It is one thing to purchase a painting or any piece of artwork from a gallery, and an entirely different thing to bring it back home with you. Any art should always be handled with care – even if it is as uncomplicated as a print.

1. Is your car big enough? Some galleries deliver the pieces right to your doorstep, but if they don’t, then you need to bring a van or a big car.
2. Bring soft blankets or cardboards to protect the artwork during transport.
3. Consider getting transportation insurance if you are bringing home a particularly expensive piece.
4. Will the artwork be shipped to you? If yes, then ask that the gallery be responsible throughout the process. They know the best art transportation services, and are adept at proper packaging procedures

Subject: All about archival framing

The frame can either add to the beauty of a painting or take away from it. That’s why you need to choose your frame carefully. Most galleries will sell you the whole painting including the frame, but in some cases, you may be asked to pay extra for it. You may also be presented with several mounting and material options.

Make sure that the gallery uses archival framing. The mat board material they use should be 100% pure cotton rag, which is acid-free and is able to counteract acids and pollutants. Boards made of wood pulp are inferior to cotton rag mat bards.

If you are buying a print, make sure that a spacer is used in framing to keep the surface of the paper away from the glazing surface. This prevents mildew, molds, and water spots.

The hinges of the best frames are Japanese paper. Rice paste is the preferred adhesive. They should also have paper dustcovers stretched across their backs to keep dust particles and even insects from accessing the painting.

Some helpful facts you should know when you purchase your art work

Subject: Checklist of documentations you need from the art gallery

Did you just buy another artwork? Congratulations – you have grown your collection. But before you hang that painting or display that sculpture, you should first make sure that you have all the documents that prove that you (a) own that artwork and that (b) it is authentic. Having all the proofs needed will make it easier for you to sell that piece in the future, when its value has increased. Here are the documents you should ask from the gallery:

• Bill of Sale
• Letter of Authenticity
• Artist’s Biographical Information
• Artist’s Statement/Information (attach it on the back of the piece)

It would also be great if you could ask the gallery for the following:

• Proof of type of artwork (Is it original? A limited edition? Is it a reproduction))
• Care and Handling Instructions
• Mailing List

These are the first steps you take when you start to build your collection
