Modern art from India in an international context
SUNDARAM TAGORE GALLERY
New York - Beverly Hills - Hong Kong
"We hope that you share our excitement in this proposal to bring Indian art and its dialogue with the global art community to the forefront."
Gina Im (Art Fair & Publications Manager, Sundaram Tagore Gallery)
Sundaram Tagore shows four Indian artists and a selection of artists from around the world. This exhibition will explore the dialogue between cultures and its influence on visual art.
Representing Indian art are Subhankar Banerjee, Natvar Bhavsar, Sohan Qadri, and Anil Revri, and representing their international contemporaries are Stan Gregory (USA), Fré Ilgen (Holland), Nathan Slate Joseph (Israel), Ho Sook Kang (Korea), Vittorio Matino (Italy), Ricardo Mazal (Mexico), Judith Murray (USA), Hiroshi Senju (Japan), Lee Waisler (USA), and Susan Weil (USA).
Banerjee, Bhavsar, Qadri, and Revri are the most influential Indian artists living outside of India. Internationally acclaimed, each of these artists is recognized by today’s most prominent collectors and institutions, such as the Corcoran Gallery of Art (D.C.), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), and the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum (New Jersey).
Subhankar Banerjee has been selected by curator Antoanetta Ivanova
for the major international art exhibition IMPACT: Living in the Age
of Climate Change to open in Copenhagen in Fall 2009 at the Statens
Museum for Kunst (Danish National Gallery of Art) and Nikolaj
(Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center) and will travel to museums in
Iceland, Norway, and Sweden through 2010.
Similarly, Natvar Bhavsar’s work will be included in an upcoming show at the Guggenheim Museum in Uptown New York. Having exhibited worldwide, Sohan Qadri has enjoyed solo shows from Zurab Tsereteli Art Gallery (Moscow) to Gallery Indigo Blue (Singapore), to Kumar Gallery (New Delhi), to the Tibet House (New York). With 2004’s In Search of Self, Anil Revri earned the title of the only Indian artist to have a major retrospective at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, which included over 50 of his paintings and drawings.
All of the international artists have traveled extensively in India, exploring its culture, complexion and people. These explorations have undeniably informed their artwork and have played a role in bridging the gap between India’s culture and their own. These artists, like their Indian contemporaries, are sought after by collectors and major art institutions such as the Whitney Museum (New York), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), and the Victoria and Albert Museum (London).
The Tagore family name is synonymous with South Asian art and culture going back many generations, the result being the gallery’s unique relationship with the artists and client base of India as well as the Far East and America. With the recent record prices set at auction for Contemporary Asian artists, we feel now is a vital time for collectors to be introduced to the depth of quality Contemporary art coming out of the region.
Gallery Statement
Established in 2000, Sundaram Tagore Gallery is devoted to examining the exchange of ideas between Western and non-Western cultures. We focus on developing exhibitions and hosting not-for-profit events that engage in spiritual, social and aesthetic dialogues. In a world where communication is instant and cultures are colliding and melding as never before, our goal is to provide venues for art that transcend boundaries of all sorts. With alliances across the globe, our interest in cross-cultural exchange extends beyond the visual arts into many other disciplines, including poetry, literature, performance art, film and music.
