The Indian art market is often discussed through isolated milestones—record prices, headline auctions, or individual artists in focus. Yet markets are shaped less by moments and more by patterns.
Between 2023 and 2025, Indian visual art experienced a period of recalibration rather than exuberance or decline. Buyer behaviour evolved, preferences sharpened, and trust emerged as a defining factor in sales and acquisitions.
This report was created to document those patterns—and to interpret what they signal for the year ahead.
It does not attempt to predict prices or recommend investment strategies. Instead, it offers a structured, data-informed reading of recent trends to help buyers, collectors, connoisseurs, and institutions make more informed decisions.
