art thief. For one, art thieves in movies are portrayed as being suave and sophisticated as opposed to your sneaky and slithery garden-variety thief. These are people who, one is made to believe, enjoy the finer things in life and, yes, can engage in a conversation with a liberal sprinkling of phrases like how a painting talks to the performative sensibility of the sublime and evokes the oblique objectives of precarious assemblages. Romanticisation of criminality—and gibberish—aside, art has aesthetic, emotional and monetary value, and where there is value there is greed. Little surprise then that India’s art community was shaken up when SH Raza’s 1992 painting Nature, valued at around `2.5 crore, reportedly went missing from Astaguru’s warehouse in Mumbai. The auction house has filed a police complaint, according to a report in the Times of India on September 11. The painting was put up by its owner Indra Veer for auctioning in 2020, and was last seen in March 2022. The case has put the spotlight on the safety of high-value art, even as the market for Indian art soars. According to the 2024 Hurun India Art List, sales by the top 50 artists reached a record-breaking `301 crore, a 19%increase from 2023.

Instagram reels, a wizened financial expert — a finfluencer — who looks part-sage, part-hotel general manager, shows up on a podcast with a Gen Z child, stating that if I'd bought Rs 1,000 of Wipro stock or something like that in 1975, I'd have hundreds of crores today. Given I didn't, with the feeble excuse that I wasn't even born, the podcast guest chides and relegates me — and people of my ilk — to the dustbin of poverty. Hoping the next reel will be more uplifting I scroll up, only to be told by another finfluencer that because I don't have a certain HDFC Bank credit card, I have lost many valuable opportunities. Seeking solace in my loved ones and achievements till 48 is futile. Because what, indeed, is the meaning of anything if I haven't availed of bonanza cashback rewards points. Or the free airport lounge Nimbooz bottle. In two minutes, Instagram has made me feel more inadequate financially than years of being a Bengali only-child could. And the fact that I am a loyal ICICI FD holder only makes matters worse, as the next reel tells me, 'FD investments are for dinosaurs.'
