The fourth edition of Art Mumbai will be held from November 12 to 15 at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse, featuring 94 exhibitors in its largest iteration yet. The modern and contemporary art fair includes 73 Indian and 21 international galleries, with six international galleries debuting: Perrotin, Richard Saltoun, Night Gallery, Rizq Art Gallery, Niru Ratnam, and Rajiv Menon Contemporary. Returning international participants include Lisson Gallery and Galleria Continua.
Among Indian exhibitors, 62 are returning, including Experimenter, Chemould Prescott Road, DAG, Nature Morte and Vadehra Art Gallery. Eleven Indian galleries debut this year, including Gallery Maskara, Phillips Antiques, Pristine Contemporary, Muziris Contemporary, Kumar Gallery and Gallery Veda. The fair will showcase established modern masters, contemporary practices and emerging artists.
The event also includes a Speaker Series with artists, curators, collectors and cultural voices, guided walks, sculpture and performances. Expanded Foundation presentations feature the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art and Saffronart Foundation.
Indian Opinion Analysis
India's commercial art market has grown steadily over the past decade, with Mumbai emerging as the primary hub for modern and contemporary sales. Art Mumbai, launched in 2022, competes with the India Art Fair in Delhi, which has run for 15 editions. The increase from 66 exhibitors in 2023 to 94 this year signals rising gallery confidence. A key benchmark will be total sales value at the fair, which determines whether the city can sustain a second major annual event. Auction results at Sotheby's and Christie's for South Asian art in London this September will provide an early indicator of buyer sentiment ahead of the fair.
