LightningNFT is the digitized form of the most well-known, widely published painting of the celebrated Indian-Qatari master, Maqbool Fida Husain. The 60-foot-long mural “Lightning” was made in 1975 to serve as a backdrop to a historic speech by then-Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, delivered at a tumultuous time for the nation. Commonly referred to as the “Guernica” of India, the emblematic masterpiece was kept by the artist from 1975 until 2002, then purchased by a collector from the U.S. The Asia Society Mu

The work’s twelve massive panels, vivid and Cubist in style, feature wild, white horses charging across a space rich with visual references to India and to the 1970s, aptly capturing the political climate of the new nation. To some players within the art-collecting and NFT communities, eager to broaden the quality of NFT art, the LightningNFT drop is anticipated with a similar excitement to the buzz that met artist Damien Hirst’s hugely successful 2021 NFT drop, “The Currency.”
