The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA) will present a major exhibition from its collection at Christie’s London this summer, running from July 16th through August 21st at Christie’s King Street headquarters. Titled “The Meeting Ground: Scenes from the KNMA Collection,” the exhibition marks the first time Christie’s annual exhibition series has been dedicated to a South Asian institution, featuring works from the New Delhi-based museum’s holdings.
This collaboration is significant because it brings South Asian modern and contemporary art to a prominent global auction house platform, potentially increasing international visibility and market interest for artists from the region. It also highlights the growing institutional presence of KNMA, founded by collector Kiran Nadar, and underscores Christie’s strategic focus on expanding its engagement with non-Western art collections.
