Inspired by the image of a trussed bull made in Egyptian bas-relief he encountered in 1954 at the British Museum in London — where he was residing at the time — Tyeb Mehta’s 1956 canvas Trussed Bull has fetched a staggering Rs 62 crore, making it the second most expensive work of Indian art to be sold at an auction.

Appearing in several of his works, the imagery of the trussed bull was both a metaphor for humanity’s failure to realise its full potential and an expression of Mehta’s feelings of entrapment by circumstances. It is a statement of great energy being blocked or tied up.
