Ishrat Kanga joined Sotheby's in 2010 after graduating from Christie’s Education with a Master of Arts. After gaining valuable experience by working in various departments across the company, she joined the Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art department as a graduate trainee. She has worked on several important collections including The Amaya Collection in 2013, which achieved $6.7 million and was the first single-owner sale in the category to be held internationally since 2000. In 2017, Ms. Kanga completed her training as a Sotheby’s auctioneer and has taken several auctions since. In her current role as Director, Head of Sale, she is responsible for sourcing and selling property for the annual London and New York Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art Auctions along with producing the catalogues for the sales.
