Who founded Arts Bespoke?
Arts Bespoke was founded by Ms. Sonu Agarwal, a Mumbai connoisseur and art collector. The house deals privately in modern and contemporary Indian art.
Founder
Ms. Agarwal is the Founder of Arts Bespoke. A connoisseur and collector whose eye was formed by years of living with pictures, she built the house she had always wished to buy from: one that tells a collector the whole truth about a work, and stands behind it for life.
She collects as the finest collectors do, slowly, with conviction, and for love of the work before any thought of its worth. That is the standard she set for the house, and every picture that carries its name is held to it.
Ms. Agarwal is also the Founder of The Lavender Story and a Director of the Safe & Secure Group. Collectors who wish to speak with someone who collects as they do will find her at the house, by appointment.
