In the Heart of Delhi

It's a three-decade-old establishment that's home to a collection of eclectic works and among the most prestigious in the world, but there's no place that defines the true essence of the Delhi Art Gallery (DAG) like New Delhi. After all, this city is where the global brand was conceived in the early '90s and will now be housing its latest art gallery. "India's appetite for high-quality exhibitions has been growing and we feel responsible for providing rich, immersive experiences for well-travelled viewers and audiences," says Ashish Anand, CEO and MD at DAG.

"With the opening of our new gallery in New Delhi-on Janpath, in the capital's heritage Lutyens precincts-we are delighted to curate the next iteration of Iconic Masterpieces of Indian Modern Art' celebrating the country's rich legacy of art with the finest and rarest examples created from the 18th-century onwards," he adds.
