SUNDARAM TAGORE GALLERY is pleased to announce the opening of its third location in Hong Kong. Representing artists who explore East-West and intercultural dialogue, New York-based Sundaram Tagore Gallery is delighted to have the support of Hong Kong and the art community in Asia in its expansion.
The new Sundaram Tagore Gallery is located in the heart of Hong Kong's art district, and occupies 2,000 square feet at 57-59 Hollywood Road (G/F and 1/F). The gallery hopes to create an important space – one that will add to the exploding art scene that is fanning out all over Asia.
Gallerist Sundaram Tagore says, "I am very excited to be here. I have been visiting Hong Kong for decades and have always felt an affinity for the city because of its stunning location and mix of cultures. It is a truly cosmopolitan place where anyone can immediately feel at home. Hong Kong has always been among the world's truly international cities, so, with our global philosophy and twenty-four artists who each explore intercultural dialogue, it's a perfect fit."
Tagore adds "As the only global gallery that has opened in Hong Kong, we know that the city has an incredibly international and culturally sophisticated audience from all over the world. Following a successful opening with an overwhelming response in February in Beverly Hills, we are looking forward to continuing our tradition of unique artistic colloquy."
"Sundaram Tagore, a New York-based curator and gallerist, has announced the opening of a Hong Kong Gallery. The Gallery focuses on a dialogue between the cultures of East a West while filling the need for better representation of international art in Hong Kong."
"Hong Kong's ambition to be Asia's art hub received another boost with the recent arrival of three top galleries: Gagosian, Sundaram Tagore and Tang Contemporary. Sundaram Tagore opened on the city's gallery street, Hollywood Road, on May 9."
"...With two other locations in New York and Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Sundaram Tagore Gallery represents some of the most well known contemporary artists, such as Hiroshi Senju and Judith Murray..."
"Tagore's Galleries in New York, Los Angeles and now Hong Kong combine visual arts with other forms such as poetry reading, dance performances, music, films and charity funding."
Sundaram Tagore Gallery Hong Kong will hold its grand opening on May 9 at 57-59 Hollywood Road. The inaugural group show will consist of five Eastern and five Western artists chosen from among those the gallery represents. The great grandson of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, Sundaram Tagore comes from 14 generations of artists, writers and poets. Tagore also has galleries in New York and Beverly Hills.
"Gallerist Sundaram Tagore said, "All these artists have spent their lives working in and exploring different Eastern and Western cultures - including India, China, Nepal, Japan, Italy, Holland and America. Together they create an incredible mosaic and foster an intercultural dialogue that reflects a diversity of thought and artistic style."
"These 'philosophical discussions' are fundamental to Tagore's vision for his galleries, or 'cultural spaces' as he prefers to call them. Unlike galleries that buy and sell art solely as a monetary transaction, Tagore has a mission to create a global community of artists and foster a dialogue between Western and non-Western cultures."
