ProfilSince its inception in 1987, Vadehra Art Gallery (VAG) has promoted contemporary Indian art through exhibitions, retrospectives, publications and educational programmes. Over the last 20 years, the gallery has become the locus through which the works of both modern and contemporary artists have reached the public. VAG's position as an artistic interlocutor with the public is especially vital in contemporary India because of the lack of a vibrant art museum culture. ARTISTS It has been an exciting time working closely with some of India's finest artists from different generations. We have had a long track record with the early modernists like M F Husain, Tyeb Mehta , Akbar Padamsee, S H Raza, Ram Kumar and the subsequent generation of indgenist modernists like Arpita Singh , A Ramachandran, Gulammohammed Sheikh, Paramjit Singh , Ganesh Pyne , Jogen Chowdhury and Mrinalini Mukherjee. Finally there is the younger generation of Atul and Anju Dodiya, Jayashree Chakravarty, Rajnish Kaur , Sumedh Rajendran , Hema Upadhyay, BV Suresh, Shibu Natesan , Prajakta Palav and Shilpa Gupta , among others, who move seamlessly between installations, painting to video. They are a generation that is trying to make sense of an India caught in vortex of change (globalization, fundamentalism, and so on), searching for artistic experiences that would make sense of the changed contexts. COLLABORATIONS Starting in the 1990s, VAG paved the way for an active collaboration between private and public art sectors. In the mid-1990s, the gallery organized retrospectives with the government-run National Gallery of Modern Art of senior artists Ram Kumar, Raghu Rai , Devyani Krishna, A Ramachandran and SH Raza. In recent years, works from our collection and exhibitions of Atul Dodiya , Arpita Singh, Ravinder Reddy and A Ramachandran have been loaned to Kunstmuseum, Bern; the Chicago Cultural Centre; the Women's Studies Research Centre, Brandies University; Jardin d'Acclimatation; Singapore Art Museum; and, Mori Art Museum , Japan, among others. GROSVENOR VADEHRA Our international recognition was further solidified by the 2006 collaboration with the Grosvenor (now the Grosvenor Vadehra) Gallery in London on the first ever Pablo Picasso exhibition held in a private gallery in India. After receiving an unprecedented response from art collectors, the general public and the press, the show solidified the notion that India was a viable destination for the international art world. Our new gallery in London, Grosvenor Vadehra, opened in 2006 with three inaugural exhibitions of Indian art - The Moderns Revisited, Inverting/Inventing Traditions and Here and Now: Young Voices from India. In 2007, we held a highly acclaimed exhibition of Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon along with Tyeb Mehta and FN Souza in New Delhi. Künstler der Galerie bzw der Sammlung |
