The India Art Fair is South Asias leading art fair for modern and contemporary art from across the world. 85 exhibiting galleries in a total of 90 booths showcased the breadth of modern and contemporary art practices including painting, sculpture, new media, installation and performance art.
On 31 January, 2015, selected students from classes VIII to XI got the opportunity to visit a very broad spectrum of art that presented a range of works from high profile Indian and international artists. Some important works were, PROCESSION by Paresh Maity by Art Alive Gallery, TAKING REFUGE by Francesco Clemente by Volte Art Projects, SERENITY OF DESOLATION by Veer Munshi by Popular Prakashan and several others.
[gallery]A curated walk through their exhibits offered by Delhi Art Gallery was another great learning experience for the students as they were introduced to the history of art in India. The gallery was divided into nine categories: Pre-moderns showcasing the Early Bengal artists, Kalighat Pat and the company school; the Bengal School featuring Gaganendranath Tagore, Jamini Roy and others; the Progressives group and Modernism.
The visit was a great experience for students inclined to art as a possible career choice as it offered a very generous representation of the subject in a single location.
