ECONOMIC TIMES
INDIA - Even as Indian art is gradually beginning to be recognised globally and local artists are seen at art fairs across the world, focused efforts like building more museums, imparting art education in schools and producing good art books is the need of the hour, say experts. "Art from India is represented in art fairs in Dubai Brazil, Shangai etc but it is still a drop in the ocean. We need to do much more to be at par internationally," says Sushma Bahl, an independent arts adviser, writer, and curator of cultural projects. Bahl was in conversation last evening with Indian ambassador to Bhutan, Pavan K Verma discussing her recently launched book "5000 Years of Indian Art" in the presence of ICCR President chairman Karan Singh.[The book] moves on to Vedic and Buddhist traditions, Hindu and Jain temple art sculpture and medieval period artefacts, Mughal miniature painting, colonial and modern Indian art.
