Amrita Sher-Gil's 'The Story Teller' painting made history as it fetched $7.4 million

Amrita Sher-Gil's painting 'The Story Teller' fetches more than ₹60 crore

Amrita Sher-Gil's 'The Story Teller' painting made history as it fetched $7.4 million

Amrita Sher-Gil's artwork scripted history at a recent auction as it fetched $7.4 million ( ₹61.8 crore). It is worth noting that this is the highest-ever price achieved by an Indian artist. This painting named 'The Story Teller' was created by Ms Sher-Gil in 1937. SaffronArt, the auction house, said that the legendary artist sought to explore the realm of domestic life in painting.
Minal Vazirani, the auction house's co-founder talked about this and said that 'the sale of this particular work is an important milestone in the market. However, equally important, is the work itself - it is an exceptional painting as a cornerstone in Sher-Gil's work as such. She is one of India's national art treasures, and this type of work is quite rare to come across for sale.'
Amrita Sher-Gil's artworks have been auctioned 84 times. The oldest auction we know about happened way back in 1992, where her painting called "Village Group" was sold at Sotheby's.
The artist Sher-Gil was born in Budapest in 1913. Her father, Umrao Singh Sher-Gil, was a scholar of Sanskrit and Persian and he belonged to an Aristocratic family in Punjab. Whereas, her mother Marie Antoinette was a Hungarian national and trained opera singer.

Ikpreet&nbsp;not only brought that moment down on canvas but he also got the chance to gift it to 'The Wall' himself.&nbsp;Calling it an overwhelming feeling, Ikpreet&nbsp;revealed what he told Rahul&nbsp;Dravid. 'It was your first innings, and it was a typical Dravid&nbsp;shot, and I made the painting&nbsp;keeping that in mind', he said.He however feels that he does not consider it as best of his works, but the whole narrative behind the making of&nbsp;Rahul&nbsp;Dravid's picture is one of the best stories.&nbsp;How much ever&nbsp;people around him praise him for the Dravid&nbsp;picture, his abstract painting of Usain&nbsp;Bolt and Viv&nbsp;Richards remains his favorite.&nbsp;Ikpreet&nbsp;says, he is now patiently waiting for a blast moment in the ongoing IPL&nbsp;that he would like to bring to life on his canvas!

Art connoisseurs, the world over, splurge not only on great pieces of art, but also on their restoration and maintenance. Researchers at the Northwestern University discovered small acne-like bumps in Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings and found that fatty acids in the binding material of the paint had formed metal soaps by reacting with lead and zinc pigments.

They have now come up with a unique technology that can help diagnose 'diseases' invisible to the naked eye. The tool uses LCD display and camera already available on smartphones and tablets. With a simple wave across the surface of a painting, the app quickly digests the work’s precise, 3D surface structure, or metrology. This technology will help study the health of a painting and also preserve it for posterity.
