Merrill Lynch will auction 40 lots of exclusive Indian artwork on October 5 at Mall Galleries in London.

In one of the largest initiatives by a non-auction house to cash in on the growing popularity of Indian art, it is roping in top artists, including Jehangir Sabavala, Akbar Padamsee, Anjolie Ela Menon, NS Bendre, Paritosh Sen, Satish Gujral, Jatin Das, Imtiaz Dharker Ram Kumar and SH Raza.

Merrill Lynch Global Private Client is supporting “Art for Conservation”, a movement run by the NGO Sanskara, which highlights the need to support conservation programmes and projects in India.

The auction is being put together by Merrill Lynch with Sanskara. The money from the auction will be used for conservation programmes in India.
