Art Alive Gallery

What Art Alive Gallery does

Art Alive Gallery is a privately held contemporary Indian art gallery and dealership founded in 2001 and headquartered at S-221 Panchsheel Park in New Delhi, India. The company exhibits, represents and sells modern and contemporary Indian paintings, sculptures, ceramics and art books, with a represented roster that includes Padma Shri recipient Paresh Maity alongside Sakti Burman, Thota Vaikuntam, Jayasri Burman, Shibu Natesan, Arpana Caur, Maite Delteil, S Harsha Vardhana and Tara Sabharwal, and historically S.H. Raza, Krishen Khanna, Jogen Chowdhury, Anjolie Ela Menon, Manu Parekh and Laxma Goud.

The business operates three integrated commercial channels: a physical gallery in South Delhi, an inquiry-based e-commerce storefront at artalivegallery.com (where pricing is published as "PRICE ON REQUEST"), and representation booths at major Indian art fairs (India Art Fair, Art Mumbai) plus curated international shows in London, Dubai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney and Chicago. The company also runs an extensive in-house publishing programme of exhibition catalogues, monographs and artist books, and operates The Art Alive Foundation (TAAF), an affiliated private trust that issues grants and commissions to contemporary artists.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time sales of individual artworks on a quote-based model, with unit pricing set via direct negotiation with private collectors, museums and corporate buyers rather than via listed tiers. Go-to-market is relationship-led: collector acquisition is driven by curated exhibitions, artist talks, fair participation, and digital content (a blog, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, email newsletter, and Artsy listing), with a WhatsApp-based enquiry widget for inbound collector communication. The firm has 11–50 employees, is founder/family-operated, has never disclosed institutional funding, and shows no evidence of public listing or external investment.
