London's South Asian renaissance: Christie's announces first dedicated sale since 2019

Following the landmark success of Christie's New York South Asian Modern + Contemporary sale during Asia Week, where works achieved exceptional results and contributed to multiple world auction records, Christie's is pleased to announce Sublime Shadows: South Asian Art From a Distinguished Collection. The landmark live auction will be held at King Street, London on 11 June 2026. This auction marks the first dedicated South Asian Modern + Contemporary sale at King Street in London since 2019 and will feature 93 lots from the same carefully assembled private collection showcased at Christie's recent New York sale, formed between the 1990s and early 2000s with a discerning eye and deep passion. The collection is unashamedly focused on the artistic legacy of Bengal, bringing together notable works that exemplify the evolution of South Asian modernism. • Vasudeo S.
