Highlights from the sale will be on view in New York Avenue galleries from September 13.

Some of the works in the auction include an untitled 1961 landscape by Souza that has horizon of buildings painted tightly against each other in a staunchly cubist manner, and artist Manjit Bawa's "Apu", the mascot of the Asian Games hosted in Delhi in 1982.
