On 29 April, 2007, KMOMA hosted a preview in Mumbai of the art works that would be auctioned by Sotheby’s in New York to raise funds for the museum later that year. This was the first time that over 70 artists, various galleries, private individuals, and an international auction house came together to support a national art museum of international facilities in India. Works by Tyeb Mehta, Jehangir Sabavala, Sakti Burman, Jogen Chowdhury , Somnath Hore, Akbar Padamsee, Arpita Singh , Rameshwar Broota, Chintan Upadhyay, Baiju Parthan , and Dayanita Singh were on view.
