Jhaveri Contemporary

Sisters Amrita and Priya Jhaveri formed the gallery in 2010. Its stated interest includes original scholarship and less familiar art histories. Keep that research emphasis in mind when reading an exhibition: the relationships between artists and their work may be as important as the individual objects on display.

Begin by identifying the show's central question and the dates attached to the work. Compare how two artists, or two periods in one artist's practice, approach a related idea. Avoid assuming that a connection with South Asia implies one uniform visual language; the gallery's programme deliberately includes varied backgrounds and media.

The gallery works with both established and emerging practices and identifies estates including those of Mrinalini Mukherjee and Anwar Jalal Shemza. These are programme relationships, not a guarantee of particular works on view. Check the active exhibition before travelling specifically to see a named artist.

The official address is the third floor of Devidas Mansion, 4 Merewether Road, Apollo Bunder, Colaba, Mumbai 400001. The gallery describes a heritage-building setting overlooking the Gateway area. Use the full address and floor when arranging arrival, and enquire about access if stairs or an unfamiliar entrance are a concern.

Published gallery opening is Tuesday–Saturday, 11 am–6:30 pm. Confirm installation periods and holidays directly. Ask about photographs or close study before beginning; a heritage balcony or building corridor should only be used when it forms part of the permitted visitor area.

Note an artist or historical connection for later reading. The surrounding Colaba streets can make a separate walk afterwards, but keep that outdoor plan distinct from the gallery's opening and access arrangements.
