Nature Morte

The Nature Morte Gallery was initially started in 1982, closed in 1988 and then revived by founder Peter Nagy. This two storey gallery in Neeti Bagh today represents some of the most well known names in Indian Art such as Subodh Gupta, Jitish Kallat, Anita Dube, Mithu Sen, Jagannath Panda, Mona Rai and Thukral & Tagra, among others.

Under the leadership of Nagy and its recently brought on board co-director Aparajita Jain, the gallery is expanding; its various avatars exist in Nehru Place, Saket, the Oberoi-Gurgaon, Kolkata and one in Berlin. The gallery has been championing ‘conceptual, lens-based and installation genres’ that are the signature style of the new generation artists.
They have participated in various International Art Fairs including Art Basel, Fiac Paris, Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Dubai, Tokyo Art Fair, Art Basel Hong Kong and the Abu Dhabi Art Fair.

Various collaborations with other institutions such as Sanskriti Foundation, Italian Cultural Centre, Khoj to name a few are yielding interesting results. New initiatives include ‘Petite Morte’ and a Young Collector’s Club.
