JANUARY 2012 I hope 2012 will provide all our readers with great opportunities to see and appreciate contemporary Indian art all over the world. The first possibility will be in New Delhi, where the 4 th Indian Art Fair will take place during the period January 25 – 29. In 2011 the Fair drew 128,000 visitors, so it is not a small event. Lithography is a well established art-form and I would like to draw your attention to one of the leading lithographic workshops in Europe : Edition Copenhagen . It functions both as a lithographic workshop and a gallery and is located at Christianshavn in Copenhagen. Each year the gallery invites a number of international and Danish artists to create lithographs in the workshop. A number of Indian artists have visited the workshop in Copenhagen. So far Jitish Kallat, Rina Banerjee and Thukral & Tagra have made prints, which can been seen at the website of the gallery. It is the first time the mentioned Indian artists have made lithography, so also in this way the works are quit unique. And more Indian artists will come to Copenhagen to make prints. Wonderful! Some of the already made prints will be on sale in connection with the exhibition on contemporary Indian art at Arken , Copenhagen, in August 2012, but can already be purchased now from the gallery.
