“L’art tribal indien émerge sur la scène internationale. En Inde, la place des aborigènes n’est plus au Musée de l’homme, dans ces reconstitutions où les mannequins en cire, vêtus de costumes traditionnels, sont assis autour du feu devant leurs maisons traditionnelles. Les voici désormais au-devant de la scène artistique contemporaine indienne, avec des œuvres qui se vendent dans les galeries d’art et les musées du monde entier. La voix des populations tribales indiennes, longtemps étouffée, renaît grâce à la peinture.”
Etablie en 2006 par Frédéric Rond, Indian Heritage est une galerie spécialisée dans les arts de l’Inde et de l’Himalaya. Située au cœur de Paris, dans l’île Saint-Louis, elle offre un large éventail de pièces primitives et classiques avec un intérêt particulier porté aux masques d’Asie du Sud.
La galerie participe aussi à Paris Tribal et Asian Art in Brussels.
