Mumbai, August 21, 2025 (pressrelease.in) — Giftex announces its Modern & Contemporary Art Auction, to be held on August 22–23, 2025, presenting a striking selection of paintings and sculptures from some of India’s most compelling artistic voices, including M F Husain, Krishen Khanna, Himmat Shah, Walter Langhammer, K K Hebbar, Dharmanarayan Dasgupta, Aparneet Mann, Nandalal Bose, Paritosh Sen, Manoj Dutta, Nalini Malani, and Viraj Naik, among others.
