The artworks are expected to fetch 100,000 pounds ($197,000) and are being offered in association with Britiain's Barclay Wealth. Ambani is also putting 32 works of art on display at Christie's in anticipation of the auction house's upcoming sale of contemporary South Asian art. The collection includes work by artists such as T.V. Santhosh and Atul Dodiya.

According to Sotheby's Indian Art specialist Robin Dean, the recent surge in auction prices for contemporary Indian art can be ascribed to European buyers. Sotheby's May 2 auction of Indian modern and contemporary art brought in 4.3 million pounds.
