Delhi Art Gallery

India’s most respected art company began its journey not as an art gallery but as an art institution right from its very inception, choosing to build up a formidable inventory of works by Indian artists from the nineteenth century onwards. In the almost three decades since DAG’s foundation, the Indian art world has seen far-reaching changes in which the company has played a stellar role. Its path-breaking exhibitions have brought to the fore important artists neglected through the passage of time.

DAG’s contribution to the understanding and dissemination of Indian art remains without parallel.

An important aspect of DAG’s collaborative efforts has been to work with institutions and museums, whetherthroughh the loan of its works for the purpose of exhibitions, or for establishing comprehensive public-private museum exhibitions such as those it had undertaken at Delhi’s Red Fort (Drishyakala) or Kolkata’s Old Currency Building (Ghare Baire) with Archaeological Survey of India. Set up as museums, these exhibitions ran for periods of three years and two years respectively and had an amazing response from viewers. DAG has also run exhibitionprogramss with the National Gallery of Modern Art, the Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Mumbai, as well as at Jawahar Kala Kendra in Jaipur, the Lalit Kala Akademi in Chandigarh, and other important institutions.

DAG’s galleries are located in New Delhi and Mumbai in India, and in New York in U.S.A.
