From the 1950s, the legendary painter MF Hussain, who was billed as one of his most important and large -scale tasks, went for more than 118 crores (village travel), auction and over 118 crores ($ 13.8 million), set a new record for the most expensive work of modern Indian art. Art Collector and Philanthropist Kiran Nadar has acquired the work of the mythical painter.

Sales, which took place on March 19 at a Christie auction in New York, doubles the 1937 “The Story Taylor” of the previous record-holder, Amrita Sher-Gill, which was about $ 7.4 million (₹ 61.8 crore) at an auction in Mumbai in 2023.

A single canvas, compared to the 13 unique panels occupying about 14 feet in gram journey, means that ‘village pilgrimage’ is widely considered as the foundation stone of Hussain’s Ovre, which celebrates the diversity and diversity and dynamics of a new independent nation.

“We are thrilled to establish a new benchmark value for Makkabool Fida Hussain and the entire category of work.

The 1954 painting, which left India in the same year, was largely ignored since the acquisition of Ukrainian -based Norway -based Dr. Leon Ellius Volodarski, which was in Delhi to establish a thoracic surgery training center for the World Health Organization (WHO).

Volodarski painted at Oslo University Hospital in 1964. The sale income institute will support the training of future generations of doctors.

Earlier, Hussain’s most expensive painting, Untitled (rebirth), was sold in London last year for $ 3.1 million (about ₹ 25.7 crore).

Born on 17 September 1915 in Pandarpur, Maharashtra, Hussein is one of the most important of India and is looking for artists whose Ovure inspires art and conversation around the world.

A large part of the art of history and mythology and an enthusiastic reader of Indian culture includes pictures of gods and goddesses in the context of the politics of that time, works that works in the crosshair of controversy.

With Firs and frequent deaths, Hussein was forced into self-disbursement, living in Dubai and visiting New York and London, where he died on 95 June 2011 at the age of 95, who overtakes a unique body of work.
