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 .

The gallery born out of her love and passion for arts is today an important destination in the city for art lovers and collectors. The gallery completed its 15 years in arts in 2019

Over the years the gallery exhibited many thoughtfully curated solo and group shows, curated by well known curators and scholars that were all documented and presented in aesthetically produced catalogues. ‘Mother and Child’; ‘Contemporary Art and creative Furniture’; ‘Image of One’s Self’; ‘ Kothao tomar Hariye Jabar Neyi Mana, Mone Mone’ a solo show of Kartick Chandra Pyne ; and the latest one in 2015 curated by Mrinal Ghosh, and titled ‘ War or Peace – remembering 100 years of World War II’, are some of the more important ones amongst others.
