"The Trailblazers" by Bonhams | February 20 - March 6, 2023

Bonhams introduces ‘The Trailblazers’ an initiative that aims to showcase the work of contemporary South Asian artists. The objective is to give artists access to the global art market by often presenting them with their inaugural auction appearances and simultaneously offering collectors the opportunity to discover contemporary art that they may not have previously encountered within the auction sphere. Through personalised interviews and essays, the initiative strives to provide each participating artist with the ability to weave a cohesive narrative of their distinct perspective and practise.
