Munich, November 12, 2019 (KK) - India celebrates him as one of the most important artists of the 20th century. For the first time two works by Bikash Bhattacharjee will now be sold in Germany. They will be called up at Ketterer Kunst, Germany's number one auction house, on December 6 and 7.

The oil painting from 1974 "She and the Morning", shown at the Third Triennial India as early as in 1975, is an impressive example of the technical mastery and pictorial complexity in Bikash Bhattacharjee's œuvre.

With the painting "Doll in the Lane" from 1971 Ketterer Kunst offers a remarkably characteristic work from the artist's significant "Doll Series". Both works will enter the bidding race with an estimate of € 40,000-60,000. Please find detailed information online on

The two masterpieces from the award winning Bikash Bhattacharjee are in good company, as the anniversary auction on occasion of the 65th birthday of the world-wide renowned auction house also comprises objects by internationally celebrated artists such as Tony Cragg, Otto Dix, Jean Dubuffet, Katharina Grosse, Erich Heckel, Barbara Hepworth, Alexej von Jawlensky, Alex Katz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Yves Klein, Hermann Max Pechstein, Pablo Picasso, Gerhard Richter, William Turnbull, Günther Uecker und Andy Warhol. This array makes for quite some suspense as to whether the magical million-euro-line will be crossed again.
