Kavi Gupta Gallery

Every time I leave Kavi Gupta I always have one of three emotions (and in decreasing order): antipathy, shock or resplendence. Just when I believe I’ve found a contemporary art gallery that is interesting and consistent in their exhibition quality, I look at an exhibition price list and all of my negative feelings for the contemporary art world come out. Seldom is highly conceptual contemporary art affordable or approachable, nor does it nourish my soul.
I remember visiting this gallery back when it was Vedanta Gallery, and their approach to selecting interesting, yet ultimately inane, contemporary art remains key to their success. I have enjoyed some of their exhibitions, and a perusal of their website (which is quite good) shows balance between the absurd and the august.
