About

Indian art is spread across museums, family homes, galleries and sale catalogues, and written about in places that don't talk to each other. ArtChancery keeps one plain record: the works, the people who made them, where to see them, and how to look.

Mughal pages and Kalighat souvenirs, Ravi Varma's oleographs, the Progressives, Gond and Madhubani, prints and photographs.

We sell nothing. No gallery or auction house pays us.
