I visited the Devi Foundation. It is in Gurgaon a suburb of New Delhi. Gurgaon is a new planned city. A lot of multinational corporations have opened large high rise facilities there. There is little residential or non-corporate life there. But there are big residential complexes planned. The Devi Foundation was started by Anupam Poddar and his mother Lekha. They have been collecting and supporting contemporary art in India for decades. The foundation is supported by funding from their company Devi Resorts. The exhibition I saw there was an exhibition of contemporary Pakistani artists. This was by far the most contemporary space I saw in India. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/26/arts/design/26collect.html?pagewanted=1
