an evening to remember

Yesterday I had one of the most interesting and invigorating evenings with long time friend and fellow collector that has perhaps the bravest eye and an unflinching passion for the avant-garde. Be it art, design or personal way of living. I was with Amrita Jhaveri, her husband Christopher and Priya her charming sister at their apartment in Malabar Hill for a chat over drinks which extended into a delightful dinner whipped together by Amrita at the very last minute

Both Christopher and Amrita are giants in the field of art but it was their warmth, graciousness and hospitality that left as big an impression as their discerning and expansive collection of modern Indian art.

We had an engaging conversation about ‘the state of the arts’ and I had a chance to see some of the groundbreaking work they are doing to document private collections in a proprietary database that allows a collector to effectively manage all aspects of their art portfolio including multi-location inventory management, valuation, insurance, records of payment & invoices, search ability across multiple dimensions and a host of other user friendly features that would be indispensable for anybody with a collection of say 50 objects d’art or more. So if you are interested in putting right systems in place to document and manage your portfolio of art, jewelry and other valuables I would strongly recommend you contact Amrita at amrita@amartindia.com

Good things and experiences are savored most when shared and I hope my lovely hosts from last evening will allow me this tiny indulgence!
