About Gallery Kolkata

Gallery Kolkata Founded and headed by Meghna Agarwala is a unique art address in the cultural capital of India.

Gallery Kolkata originally founded in 2004 was initiated to bridge the gap between art and its connoisseurs; an attempt to bring art works of eminent artists within the reach of the masses.The new space however since 2007 brought the best of Modern & Contemporary Indian Art to the cognoscenti of Kolkata.

The new space opened in the prestigious “Duckback House” with the twin infrastructural advantages of space – an enviable 5000 sq. ft.! – and easy accessibility. Complete with the state of the art facilities, the gallery has hosted landmark exhibitions, installation art and video shows as well as new media displays. Apart from art the gallery also ventured into art furniture , which was made from recycled wood and material .
