I think a friend of mine has Nasreen Mohamedi in his collection. In the recent Saffron Art auction, I found this Ram Kumar work beautiful, though I cannot describe why:
http://www.saffronart.com/auctions/PostWork.aspx?l=9412 I looked at a Raza abstract from the same auction and did not like it much: http://www.saffronart.com/auctions/PostWork.aspx?l=9379 For some reason, this Raza seems to have gone unsold during this auction. Like Charles, I did not know what to make of Rothko, but I saw a BBC documentary on him and that made me change my views. I am now looking forward to seeing Rothko's work for real, before making up my mind. What I find fascinating is how does one identify a really good work of abstract art?
