The collection at the Delhi Art Gallery is an important historical and chronological time-line of the movement of modern art in India. Since it was established, the Delhi Art Gallery has become distinguished for its focus on 20th century Indian art. Its museum-like collections range from the early-moderns to the moderns to more recent contemporary art. DAG’s motto is to establish the great art treasures of 20th century India, from its remotest parts to those in its better established art and culture hubs.
Extensive exhibition catalogues and books by DAG on well-established artists and also on the lesser-known but equally talented artists, is a measure of DAG’s effort of concentrating on not just on the names of Indian artists familiar to all art-lovers, but also those artists who deserve their space on the same firmament. With over four hundred artists in its collection, the Delhi Art Gallery brings together the most seminal works of artists from Bengal’s golden period of nationalist art, to the Progressives, all of whom are represented at DAG, to their associates, the important and diverse schools and groups spread throughout India, to artists of more recent vintage with their own, established track records. Delhi Art Gallery, unlike most others, owns its entire, exhaustive collection.
It is, simply, the most important institution for 20th century Indian art, not just in India but around the world.
