Ex-defence minister A K Antony's wife Elizabeth Antony has allegedly sold 8 paintings to the Airports Authority of India for more than Rs 1 crore each. Though she herself chose to keep mum on the price tag, sources said that the AAI paid a mind-boggling sum of Rs. 28 crore for the paintings, putting her in the league of artists such as Tyeb Mehta whose 'Celebration' became the first modern Indian artwork to fetch Rs 1.5 crore in an auction at Christie's in 2002. Ironically, little is known about Mrs. Antony's artistic talent.
