Art expo at IGI airport


New Delhi, Jan. 15:  
Indian contemporary art has spread its wings to a new display terrain by connecting to thousands of international travellers at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) with ‘Hamanta-Shishir’, a collection of 34 paintings and sculptures by 22 artists.
It is part of a larger art project, Art Walk — an attempt by the Delhi International Airport Ltd to provide a platform for fliers to appreciate Indian art, buy art works and raise awareness about art, DIAL said on Tuesday.
‘Hemanta-Shishir’ is an autumn-winter collection. It will be followed by ‘Basanta-Greeshma’ (spring-summer) and ‘Varsha-Sharada’ (monsoon-autumn). A decision on continuing the cycle will be taken at a later date.
The works are priced between Rs 25,000 and Rs 18,00,000. The exhibition will close on March 15.
