One of the funny things about life is: What we enjoy the most is not always what we respect. Popularity is not the same as admiration. Buying a Subodh Gupta installation, marks you as a dollar millionaire. So does a Husain. But if you are not into collecting art for just money, if you actually want to treasure the great masters you will hang a Gaitonde on your wall or keep a tiny Somnath Hore on your mantelpiece. It may not fetch you a fraction of the value nor win you oohs and aahs from your friends but you will have the pleasure of owning a work that will probably be remembered much longer.
