Bindu
Syed Haider Raza Syed Haider Raza, a legendary modern artist who popularized
Indian iconography around the world, never grew tired of the
bindu or shunya, which became the focal point of energy in his
work. Raza's art evolved continuously throughout his long and
prolific career. By the 1970s, however, he had discovered the
motif that would make him a legend: the bindu. His instantly
recognizable trademark geometric abstract works, in addition
to the bindu, explored themes such as Prakriti (nature),
kundalini (primal energy), and tribhuj (triangle).

Self-Portrait
Amrita Sher-Gill Amrita Sher-Gil's self-portrait depicts one of India's most
important modern artists at the age of 18. This is also the
artist's first painting to be offered at Christie's London, and one
of only eight canvases by Sher-Gil to be offered at auction
worldwide. Sher-Gill's self-portrait is painted with almost
hypnotic intensity, drawing the viewer into the artist's
innermost psyche, where a sea of melancholy awaits
