Description:
30 Masterpieces from a Distinguished Private Asian Collection
For the first time in a generation, thirty undisputed masterpieces – many unseen in public for decades and several never before offered at auction – will come to market under one roof.
This is not another sale. This is the launch of Lloyds Worldwide Fine Art Auctions: the new global benchmark for Indian and South-East Asian Modern & Contemporary art.
Every work is fresh to the market, impeccably provenanced, and accompanied by exhaustive condition reports, spectral imaging where relevant, and the most rigorous scholarly authentication available today.
Highlights include major canvases by V.S. Gaitonde, S.H. Raza, F.N. Souza, Maqbool Fida Husain, Jamini Roy, Arpita Singh, and rare masterworks from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam – each selected for its historical weight and undeniable presence.
Bidding will be seamless: examine a painting in museum-grade light in Dubai, run forensic analysis from Singapore, and raise your paddle from anywhere on earth. Over 70 % of sales are expected to close online, yet every physical appointment viewing will remain a private event.
This debut auction marks the moment the market fully recognises the global significance of these masterpieces. For sellers, it delivers the highest net returns ever achieved in the category. For collectors and institutions, it represents the rarest acquisition opportunity in decades.
Lloyds Worldwide begins here.
Thirty masterpieces. One new standard.
