Lakeeren Art gallery is located at Vile Parle and was established in 1995, The gallery’s uniqueness stemmed from the fact that it challenged itself to present avant-garde art that emerged at that moment in time to a new audience outside the usual South Mumbai collector’s circle. The impact and influence of Lakeeren gallery and the artists would be lost in the innards of time if not revisited or articulated as a story that needed to be told. This is particularly relevant given the current moment of globalization experienced by Indian art that can be traced back to the liberalization of the Indian economy that began in the early 1990s, the time when Lakeeren opened as a gallery. It is opened from Monday to Saturday from 11am to 7pm and is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
