Akbar Padamsee

Akbar Padamsee graduated from the Sir J J School of Arts, with a Diploma in Painting, following which he went to work in France. He experimented with a wide range of media, from oil on canvas to photography and digital printmaking. The artist conveys a command over space, form and colour.

Best known for his Grey Series, Metascapes and Mirror Images, Padamsee has experimented with film-making, sculpture, and has also written as an art critic. Prices for Padamsee's works continue to escalate at auction. Greek Landscape (1960), from his Grey Series, set a world record for the artist on 8 September 2016. The 4.3 x 12 foot canvas, estimated at INR 7 – 9 crores, doubled its upper estimate to sell for INR 19.19 crores. This sale placed Padamsee amongst the top five highest selling Indian artists. The artist passed away in January 2020.
