ABC Series III 103 107 SANKHO CHAUDHURI (1916–2006) Untitled Bronze with granite base 17.2 x 2.6 x 3.5 in (43.7 x 6.5 x 9.0 cm) INR 720,000 – 900,000 USD 16,250 – 20,300 ‘A sculptural object was treated as an organism in its own right and not as a substitute of any other reality. These qualities are found in Chaudhury’s carving as well as metal sculptures. In his use of simplication and surface treatment of convex and concave planes, there is an indebtedness to Cubist sculpture.’ – Dr. Ratan Parimoo rpt. in Indian Art: An Overview Rupa & Co 2003; pp. 172-3.
