What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue building artist, collector, and institutional relationships while leading exhibitions, gallery programmes, provenance and documentation, and strategic artist positioning in the contemporary art market.

I manage end-to-end gallery operations, exhibitions, artist relationships, provenance research, and collector engagement across India’s contemporary art market.

At IILM, New Delhi, I lead gallery programmes, curate exhibitions, oversee installations, manage inventory and artwork logistics, and prepare catalogues, invoices, authenticity certificates, provenance records, and condition reports. I also support artwork evaluation, pricing strategy, sales negotiations, and artist positioning.

Previously, at ASIGN and DAG World, I researched provenance, prepared post-sale compliance documentation, supported pricing and external artwork evaluations, and coordinated information across gallery teams. My work has included artist research, collection documentation, artwork movement approvals, and training interns.

I’ve also managed Gallery Latitude 28, supported Art Dubai, and worked with Lokayata Art Gallery, the National Gallery of Modern Art, and Assam State Museum. I bring experience building artist, collector, and gallery partnerships while connecting the creative and commercial sides of art.
