Aga Khan Collection Breaks Records as the World’s Highest-Value Sale of South Asian Art
Over the course of nearly 50 years, Prince Sadruddin and Princess Catherine Aga Khan managed to amass quite the collection of Indian and Islamic paintings. The couple boasted everything from paintings and manuscripts to drawings and miniatures, spanning the 16th to 19th centuries and each of indelible quality. On October 28, 2025, the Aga Khan collection broke records at auction, becoming the highest-value sale of South Asian art across any category in history.
