Kiran Nadar Museum to Exhibit South Asian Art at Christie's London
The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, based in New Delhi, is set to take over Christie's London headquarters for a month-long exhibition showcasing South Asian Modern and contemporary art. This non-selling exhibition will feature works from 60 artists from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, spanning from the 1950s to the present day. Kiran Nadar, the museum's founder and a prominent art collector, views this exhibition as an opportunity to demonstrate institutional openness amidst a global trend of cultural defensiveness. The exhibition, titled 'The Meeting Ground: Scenes from the KNMA Collection,' will run from July 16 to August 21, 2026, and is part of Christie's series of summer exhibitions. This event anticipates the relocation of the Kiran Nadar Museum to a new, expansive facility in Delhi, designed by architect David Adjaye, which is expected to open in 2028.
