Frieze : Why Indian Galleries Are at Home in London

Nature Morte is part of a prominent presence of diverse Indian galleries at Frieze London and Frieze Masters this year, where it joins Art Exposure, DAG, Experimenter, Gallery Maskara, Jhaveri Contemporary, Project 88, Shrine Empire and Vadehra Art Gallery. Jain maintains that London’s ‘vast network of collectors, curators, institutions and academics’ makes it an attractive location for Indian galleries to position their artists internationally. Furthermore, she has found a receptiveness in the UK to ‘India’s rich cultural history and rituals’, imparted to a local audience through more intricately woven and complex historical narratives.
