Mumbai has a good selection of contemporary commercial art galleries. Despite the arrival of Sotheby's in Mumbai and the subsequent increases in prices, works by quality local artists are a steal. You need to do some homework before making a significant purchase. The best way to do this is by looking at modern Indian art books, visiting galleries, and talking to as many local artists and gallery owners as possible.
