For the ordinary man the range and variety of art works exhibited at the ongoing India Art Fair here is mindboggling.

From European giants like Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Damien Hirst to Indian masters such as M F Husain and contemporary artists like Subodh Gupta, the NSIC exhibition grounds at Okhla is teeming with a visual cornucopia of art.

Visitors at the event billed as the biggest in India are greeted at the entrance, a sculpture court, with a "Hangover Man"- a sculpture depicting the historical figure of Sayajirao Gaekwad III by Siddhartha Kararwal made out of knotted cloth, resin and wax all coated in prisitine white.

Inside the marque area, visitors gawk at stunning scultpures, video and live installations and paintings by conteporary and master artists from across the world brought here by a contingent of galleries from Asia, Europe, America, Middle, Africa and the Middle East.

For the uninitated in art, curators offer guided walks across the venue at different times.

"I do not understand art in detail and my wife and I decided to take a curated walk. I believe art is something which is not esoteric and events like this are a brilliant idea and helps us look at the art-pieces in a slightly different and more educated way...," says Rajesh Sethi, a retired Navy Officer who came to the Fair to see what it was all about.

Just inside the main entrance in the state-of-the art German tent, hangs a huge utensil sculputure by the blue eyed boy of Indian art "Subodh Gupta" followed by one by his artist wife Bharti Kher. They are represented by the Hauser$With gallery who have also diplayed artists like Martin Creed and Louise Bourgeois (with price tags that range in several crores.
