KohlArt was founded in 2007 by Vanita and Sunita Bindal. Avid collectors and art connoisseurs, their keen interest in works of emerging artists during the Indian art boom of the early 2000s paired with the lack of galleries and sparse avenues specifically catering to these artists resulted in the genesis of Kohl Art. The inclination to create a physical space that would exclusively address a niche engagement with regional emerging and mid career artists from India and present a platform for their artistic endeavors resulted in the gallery space.
