Director
Mr. Naidu is the face of the house to those who collect with it. He brings to Arts Bespoke his years with Artequest Art Gallery, established in Mumbai in 2010, a gallery that has carried modern and contemporary Indian art to fairs in New York, London, Singapore, Dubai and Istanbul. He leads private sales, and it is across his table that a picture finds its next custodian. He presents each work in person, arranges the private viewing, and stays with the collector from the first enquiry to the hour the picture is hung.
Every work in the house rests in his care: its handling, its movement and its safekeeping. At Arts Bespoke the man who offers you a picture is the man who answers for it.
A private sale is a quiet thing. There is no salesroom, no public catalogue and no record of a work that did not find its buyer. Mr. Naidu's office keeps it that way, so that a collector's business with the house remains the collector's own.
