The Gaur Collection’s home gallery in New Jersey serves as an incubator for exhibitions and scholarship on modern and contemporary Indian art. Drawing on the collection’s depth in painting, sculpture, photography, prints, and indigenous art, each exhibition explores a particular artist, medium, or theme.
Exhibitions develop through sustained research and collaboration with curators, art historians, and artists, often over one to two years. Additional acquisitions strengthen the presentation, while engagement with scholars, students, and visitors opens new avenues of interpretation.
The gallery is a starting point for projects that reach wider audiences through scholarly publications, museum exhibitions, and traveling shows. Gifts to public institutions extend this work, supporting the collection’s long-term preservation, study, and accessibility.
Photographs by Umesh Gaur, Harvey Stein, and Margarita Mavromichalis offer three distinct perspectives on Old Delhi’s historic markets, sacred spaces, and everyday life. The exhibition accompanies the forthcoming book Seeing Chandni Chowk.
A trilogy of exhibitions drawn from the Gaur Collection’s approximately 500 prints will explore the range and innovation of modern Indian printmaking. Featured artists include Baroda printmakers Jyoti Bhatt, Bhupen Khakhar, and Gulam Mohammed Sheikh; Bengal printmakers Haren Das, Somnath Hore, and Chittaprosad; and Laxma Goud, Anupam Sud, Zarina, and Krishna Reddy.
