India Art Fair (IAF), since its launch in 2008, has witnessed a celebration of modern and contemporary art of South Asia. With over 75 exhibitors from 20 South Asian cities, the IAF is the biggest such exhibition in the region showcasing a buffet of material explorations, and a brush with the contemporary and the hidden.
The 12th edition of IAF is being held from January 30 to February 2 at NSIC Exhibition Grounds in Delhi. Aiming to increase art audiences in the country, the exhibition features over 81 Indian and international galleries.
IAF Director Jagdip Jagpal has successfully created a distinct identity for the exhibition by focusing on the curation of South Asian contemporary art. She ensured that at least 70 per cent of the floor space is dedicated for Indian and South Asian galleries and artists, private foundations, arts charities and national institutions.
Interestingly, the fair also includes art by the differently-abled as also by those who never displayed their work before.
The Young Collector’s Programme and IAF Parallel platform is designed for those interested in viewing, collecting and learning more about the curation of art. It features master classes, studio visits, walkthroughs and tours of Delhi’s famed museums, galleries, and alternative art spaces.
Ever since BMW became a presenting partner of IAF, one Art Car from the BMW exquisite collection of Art Cars has been displayed at the IAF. The BMW Art Car collection features a limited collection of BMW cars that have been used by some of the biggest artists as a canvas.
Have a look at some amazing installations by renowned artists.
Will come up with more updates on IAF next year. Ciao.
