Tao Art Gallery

Artist, collector and curator Kalpana Shah established the gallery in 2000. The operator describes a programme encompassing established Indian artists and younger practices. This range makes the exhibition's own introduction important: it explains the particular selection in front of you rather than the entire history of the gallery.

Begin with one room or one group of works and compare how colour, surface and scale are handled. Read the captions after making your own observations. If a piece seems difficult to interpret, note the question it raises instead of trying to reach a definitive answer immediately.

The gallery's public presentation includes painting, installation and sculpture. When a show combines these, consider how you move between them and how the room changes your view. Stay within the permitted route and follow any instructions concerning close approach, handling or photography around larger works.

The current visiting page welcomes all visitors and gives Monday–Saturday hours of 11 am–6:30 pm, with Sunday opening from noon to 6 pm. Check exhibition changes and holiday exceptions directly. A public gallery timetable does not establish access to an artist meeting or separately organised event.

The operator lists Tao Art Gallery at 165 The View, Dr Annie Besant Road, Worli, Mumbai 400018. Save the building name as well as the street. If you need a particular access arrangement, contact the gallery before travelling rather than inferring facilities from the address or images of the exhibition space.

Write down its artist and medium for later reading. Ask about current admission arrangements, keep bags away from displays and leave space for fellow viewers to pause.
