ArtFlash - September 2009 Volume X bringing you highlights of news from the art world Celebrating 30 Years 
• The 2009 - 2010 provincial art budget will be cut from $47.8 million in 2008 - 2009 to $23 million. Indian Contemporary Art Setting Records
In the 1990s there was virtually no secondary art market in India. That changed radically between 2000 and 2008 with Indian artists, Anish KAPOOR and Subodh GUPTA ranking among the world’s fifteen top-selling Contemporary artists with auction revenues of €11.2m and €10.7m respectively. The third top-selling Indian artist, TV SANTOSH (born 1968), had a revenue total only one tenth of his peers’ (€1.2m), although he is expected to move up. In sync with the Chinese contemporary art scene, Indian contemporary art has begun to find a market at home as well as beyond national borders. With the increase in the middle and upper middle classes wealth, Contemporary art has become a much sought after source of alternate investment, status and national pride. web.artprice.com
