Art Summit In New Delhi

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2011/01/31/arts/design/20110131-summit.html

I thought this art summit in New Delhi was an interesting news-making affair. The event was geared not only for contemporary Indian art presentation but also as a massive sales event (amounting in more than $2 million of transactions). I thought this was indicative of a growing middle and upper class with dispensable income as well as education to appreciate the arts. The New York Times caries stories about India frequently, but is is more uncommon to see ones about art instead of travel and politics. - EH
