Established: 1975
Established in 1975, Kapoor Galleries is one of the few galleries in New York specializing in ancient Indian and Himalayan art, dating mostly between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Walking inside, I was greeted by Sanjay, the fourth generation to join this family business that found its roots dealing in India. He showed me the oldest piece in the gallery, a Greek-influenced, second or third century stone sculpture from Ghandara (modern-day Afghanistan and Pakistan). His favorite sculpture was gilded, bronze-based, and devoted to the Vajradhara Buddha.
