About the Gallery
Founded by Abhay Maskara, Gallery Maskara opened a space in Colaba, Mumbai in 2008 with a clear and compelling mission to exhibit and promote the art of the present. This free-standing structure with a pitched roof of 14-meters in height and walls that run 30-meters in length was built during the pre-independence era as a cotton warehouse. In 2008 it was completely restored and reimagined as a space for contemporary art. In the ensuing years, it quickly became known for its cutting-edge program, site-specific installations and super-sized contemporary art. The gallery nurtured emerging artists, most of whom had their first solo shows at the gallery, and many went on to achieve national and international acclaim.
