At Rs 23.7 cr, Gaitonde sets record for an Indian artist

Maharashtra-born VS Gaitonde, whose untitled minimalist landscape in gorgeous yellow was snapped up for Rs.23.7 crore, has become the country's priciest artist, smashing the earlier record of Rs.16.4 core set by his peer SH Raza's work 'Saurashtra' in 2010. The London-based Christie's debut auction at Mumbai's Taj hotel saw as many as eight Indian artists achieve a world record price.
