Alturaash is a Dubai-headquartered art house. The word Alturaash is derived from an Arabic word which means Heritage.[1]
Background[edit]
Asif Kamal founded Alturaash in Dubai in 2010.[2] It is part of the Alturaash Group and holds offices in Dubai as well as India. The art house started its first Art Fund in 2014.[3]
The art house expanded its operations to India by opening a gallery in the capital city of India Delhi.[1]
In 2020, Alturaash tied up with a Delhi-based NGO for a fundraising drive to contribute to the chief minister disaster relief fund to help people impacted by floods in Bihar.[4]
The art house, in 2021, announced the opening of a solo exhibition by artist Pradip Chakraborty titled Ae Mohabbat, which unravels 6 works combining couples and nature and mythology.[5][6][7]
A Bangalore based auction house Bid & Hammer sent Asif Kamal a legal notice when he expressed concerns over the authenticity of an artwork that was being advertised as created by Ram Kumar in 1963 in the Bid & Hammer auction catalogue.[8]
In 2015 Asif claimed two paintings worth Rs 15-20 crores created by artist S. H. Raza and Jagdish Swaminathan that were on display at Christie's to be fake. The paintings were later withdrawn by the British auction company.[9]
In 2016, Asif challenged the authenticity of a painting by Manjit Bawa which was on sale as part of auction house AstaGuru’s online Modern Art Auction, which was later pulled out from the auction catalog after a legal notice was served to AstaGuru.[10]
