There is a unique piece of art which is about etching of maps of regions that do not remain the same and are getting split into different regions. Surrounding this piece is a frame made of steel coated ‘waste blades’ which reflect the usage of these blades as a symbol of cutting into regions. There is an interesting installation of a man which is made of ‘hundreds of clocks’ and truly looks a very different piece of art. Paintings of most masters are a treat to watch and also acquire as they are some of the very well made works. It’s very important for art collectors and artists to see this exhibition as it would give an insight into the essence of art worldwide and understand the art market, the thought process of the artists and the hard work put in by them over a period of many years.
