Mumbai Gallery Weekend is back again. The largest coordinated art event in the city will be taking place from January 14-17 and will have 22 galleries and design venues participating in the 9th edition.

On the list
Atelier Ashiesh Shah will be showing their brilliant designs at the soon-to-be launched One8 Bungalow (previously Indigo Bungalow) on Mandlik Road, Colaba and Rooshad Shroff’s beautiful pieces will be on view at his spanking new studio in Horniman Circle.

Participating auction houses Pundole’s and Saffronart will be previewing their January auctions. Pundole’s will have their much-awaited auction of modern, contemporary and classical works and Saffronart has a stellar auction of KG Subramnayan works lined up.


All galleries in the city have been open for a while now and have safety protocols in place. It has been a steep learning curve for the galleries and they have been careful to manage visitor numbers; this has meant scaling back on celebratory Art Night Thursday events and preview of new shows.

Tara Lal, gallerist of Chatterjee & Lal says, “This year each participating space will be open to visitors from 12:00 to 8:00 pm daily. Every day will be a preview giving visitors the chance to visit the galleries of their choice on any given day without losing out on the experience of opening night.”

Banksy, KAWS & More: 5 Things To Know About Collecting Street Art
1/7

Street art is no longer spray painting on bus stops, street corners and walls. It’s making its way into your home, and if you’re a collector, it’s a genre to consider.



Works by pioneers such as Haring, Stik, Banksy and KAWS have gained popularity in recent years as we have seen an urban liberation of art media, pushing through the conventional parameters of paper, cardboard and canvas and on to pavement, sidewalks, subways and the bricks of buildings.



As the personification of movement, freedom and spontaneity, art inspired by graffiti has taken centre stage, both literally in scale and visibility and in its burgeoning popularity.

“Since the hip-hop crews of Philadelphia and New York turned graffiti into an elaborate language, encrypted in a range of unique styles, Street art has become an established art form. While its very public presence may scream manifesto, perhaps with subversive intent, Street art nonetheless promotes a sense of the uncompromising, a radical ethos that consistently attracts clusters of fervent supporters throughout the world,” says Noah Davis, Specialist, Post War and Contemporary Art at Christie’s Inc. They share their tips on what you need to know if you’re considering going street.

Artists inspired by graffiti often revisit a theme or rely on a repeated technique in their work, creating a recognisable trademark that forms an essential part of their visual vocabulary. Haring developed his man figure; Jean-Michel Basquiat combined symbols and epigrams; and Banksy fashions irreverent, politically-charged subjects.

Some street artworks are site-specific, such as Haring’s infamous ‘Crack Is Wack’, a 1986 public project still visible along the Harlem River Drive in New York City. As a way to represent the whole, a distinct element of the work may be replicated in a more portable form. Haring’s iconic figures and symbols repeat throughout his oeuvre, finding themselves not only on his murals and canvases but also on his screen prints. This is also true for artists such as Stik and Banksy.

Street art can be easily duplicated. As stencils can be used and infinitely reused, the question of originality that plagues all art becomes particularly critical for this genre. Consult a specialist. For prints, it is extremely important that they match the catalogue raisonné for the artist or compare well to other examples from the edition.

Street art is, by its very nature, exposed to the elements more than other kinds of art. Restoration may be possible — some artists, such as Stik, make a point of personally touching up their works in situ whenever they can — but some level of wear is to be expected. Collectors should keep in mind that, as with any kind of artwork, condition may impact the perceived value of a piece.

Since Street Art is a relatively new movement in art history, it’s important to know what came before in order to understand where it’s going. Most are aware that graffiti — and more specifically, Wild Style — represented the nascent form of Street art in the 1970s, but Pop art also paved the way, incorporating many of the same topics for the first time, from mass consumerism to elements of pop culture.
