Lot 16
Krishen Khanna
Estimate : 3,00,000 - 3,50,000
The human form is central to Krishen Khanna’s (b.1925) art as his interest is in the question of existence. Growing up in Lahore, he was deeply affected by the partition of the country and this is reflected in his work as a lifelong engagement with immigrants and the marginalised. One aspect of this engagement was his Bandwalla series where he portrayed the life of the music makers who lived at the fringes of the society. Belonging to his famed Bandawalla series, the present lot conveys the tragi-comic life of the musicians through the use of colours and forms.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
