Even as Indian artists prepare to commemorate Sachin Tendulkar at the NGMA later this year, that other diminutive and equally talented maestro, Oscar winner A R Rahman, got his own art tribute recently at the unveiling of Mumbai-based artist Sharmistha Ray's 'Maestro'. A signature work commissioned by the Berklee College of Music, it featured the musical genius’s image covered with more than 1,000 Swarovski crystals.
