Saffronart’s Summer Online Auction of Modern and Contemporary Indian art, scheduled for June 19 and 20, includes 85 works by 40 artists.

A selection of the lots is currently on view at the auction house’s gallery space in Delhi until June 4 after which preview events will be held in London on June 10, and Mumbai, on June 14.
Estimated between $269,235 to $346,155 (Rs 1,40,00,000 to Rs 1,80,00,000), lot 23 an untitled 2001 work by M.F. Husain is the highest valued lot, while lot 22, “Abhisarika,” a 1965-work by him comes a close second with its estimate of $250,000 to $300,000 (Rs 1,30,00,000 to Rs 1,56,00,000).
