Giftex.in’s Modern & Contemporary Art Auction delivered strong results; here are the top lots that surpassed estimates
Suryakant Lokhande Drives Steady Growth with 31 Lot Sales
Lokhande’s auction trail from 2021 to 2025 shows a gradual build
Suryakant Lokhande’s auction story from 2021 to 2025 is defined by a steady rise in volume. Across the five-year span, he sold 31 lots at auction.
The yearly count moved from 3 lots in 2021 to 6 in 2022, then climbed to 10 in 2023 and 11 in 2024.
That shift makes the five-year pattern especially clear: Lokhande built momentum through 2024, with 2024 emerging as his strongest year for volume, before the pace slowed in 2025. Even so, the overall total still reflects a consistent auction presence over the period.
The lot count sits alongside a practice that has drawn attention for its bright, pop-inflected surfaces and layered narratives. In pure market terms, the numbers tell a simple story.
