This week: masters week in New York\\u2014can the market for historic works be revived? Scott Reyburn, a market reporter for The Art Newspaper, has for some time been exploring the decline in the trade for Old Master paintings. He looks ahead to the auctions in Masters Week in New York, which begin this weekend. In India on Monday, the prime minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a vast temple to the Hindu god Ram in the city of Ayodhya. The temple replaces a 16th-Century mosque that was destroyed by Hindu mobs in 1992, an event that provoked riots in which nearly 2,000 people died, most of them Muslim people. Our deputy art market editor and regular correspondent in India, Kabir Jhala, is in Mumbai, and joins us to discuss this pivotal issue in modern Indian history, what it means ahead of India\\u2019s general election in the spring, and whether it is affecting the Indian art market. And this episode\\u2019s Work of the Week is Madame d\\xe9m\\xe9nage (1867), a political cartoon by the French artist Honor\\xe9 Daumier that was deemed so provocative in its time that it was not published. The lithograph is part of an exhibition at the St\\xe4del Museum in Frankfurt that features 120 Daumier works from the Hellwig Collection. Hans-J\\xfcrgen Hellwig, the who is donating the collection to the St\\xe4del, joins us to discuss this incendiary image.
