ABOUT
Founded in New York's East Village in 1982 and closed in 1988, Peter Nagy revived Nature Morte in New Delhi in 1997 as a commercial gallery and a curatorial experiment. Since then, Nature Morte has become synonymous in India with challenging and experimental forms of art; championing conceptual, lens-based, and installation genres and representing a generation of Indian artists who have gone on to international exposure. The gallery now has two exhibition spaces in New Delhi. The main gallery is located at the Dhan Mill complex in the Chhatarpur area, in the extreme south of the city.
Nature Morte was the first gallery from India to be included in the most important international art fairs (starting with The Armory Show in New York in 2005) and has participated in Art Basel, Fiac Paris, Art Basel Miami Beach, Paris Photo, Art Dubai, Tokyo Art Fair, Art Basel Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi Art Fair, and Frieze London and New York, among others.

With Covid 19 impacting the sales in the art gallery sector, brands were forced to get more active online.
Nearly 87% of the HNW collectors surveyed had visited the galleries online viewing rooms during the first half of 2020 and 41% had used them purchase art.
With soaring competition in the online space, digital viewing rooms becoming the main touchpoint for sale and millennials showing increased interest in collecting, the need for a strong digital presence could not be overlooked.
