What Threshold Art Gallery does

Threshold Art Gallery is a private, founder-owned contemporary art gallery established in 1997 in New Delhi by Tunty Chauhan, who continues to serve as Director. The gallery represents a roster of 18+ contemporary artists exploring subcontinental art through traditional materials and process-oriented works, including V. Ramesh, Priya Ravish Mehra, Achia Anzi, Tarshito, Anindita Bhattacharya, and others. It operates from a single physical location at C-221, Sarvodya Enclave, New Delhi, supported by a WordPress-based website that functions as both a portfolio and an e-commerce catalogue of over 1,785 artworks with enquiry-based pricing.

The gallery's business model is commission-based art sales, augmented by exhibition programming, publications (exhibition catalogues dating back to 2002), workshops (including international editions in Bali, Bhutan, Greece, and Cambodia), and a regular talks and seminars programme. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time transactions on individual artworks sold to collectors, museums, and cultural institutions; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans individual art collectors, museums, biennales, and the represented artists themselves, with work by gallery artists held in collections including the National Gallery of Modern Art, Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Ashmolean Museum (Oxford), and Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Distribution is anchored in the New Delhi gallery space and the online store, with international reach achieved through curated exhibitions at major venues such as the 2026 'Sediments of Becoming' show at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg — the first contemporary Indian art exhibition there in 260 years — and prior projects at the American University Museum, InArtibus Foundation Moscow, Bihar Museum, and National Crafts Museum. The underlying technology is conventional: no proprietary platform, no identified AI/data capabilities, and no app. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent entity, or acquisition activity.

Direct peers

• Talwar Gallery: New Delhi and New York-based contemporary Indian art gallery with strong international programming. Comparable to Threshold in its South Asian curatorial focus and artist representation model, with a larger international footprint.
• Sakshi Art Gallery: Mumbai-based contemporary art gallery with an international footprint. Comparable to Threshold in its representation of contemporary Indian artists and its program of museum and biennale placements.
• Gallery Espace: New Delhi contemporary art gallery representing a mix of established and emerging Indian artists. Overlaps with Threshold in artist representation, exhibition curation, and the South Asian contemporary art focus.
• Vadehra Art Gallery: New Delhi-based contemporary Indian art gallery representing a roster of established Indian artists. Operates a flagship gallery in New Delhi and has a similar curatorial sensibility to Threshold, making it a directly comparable peer in the Indian contemporary art market.
• Nature Morte: New Delhi gallery (with a presence in Gurgaon) focused on contemporary Indian and South Asian art. Closely matches Threshold's model of representing contemporary Indian artists, curating exhibitions, and selling through both gallery and international channels.
• Chemould Prescott Road: Mumbai-based contemporary Indian art gallery with a multi-generational history of representing South Asian artists. Directly comparable to Threshold in primary market focus on contemporary Indian art and curatorial depth.
• Aicon Gallery: Gallery with locations in New York and New Delhi focused on modern and contemporary South Asian art. Directly comparable to Threshold's curatorial focus on subcontinental art, with a more developed US presence.

Broad incumbents

• Gagosian: The world's largest contemporary art gallery, with a global network of locations. Operates broadly in the contemporary art market including South Asian artists, providing a benchmark for what a scaled, institutionalised gallery model looks like versus Threshold's boutique operation.
• Sotheby's: Global auction house with a substantial South Asian art sales category. While operating in the secondary market rather than primary representation, Sotheby's is a key demand sink for contemporary Indian art and a benchmark for the broader market Threshold supplies.
• David Zwirner: Global contemporary art gallery with multiple international locations and a strong representation model. Represents the broader incumbent end of the market against which Threshold's smaller, India-focused operation competes for top collectors.
