Geeta Kapur (born 1943) is a noted Indian art critic, art historian and curator based in New Delhi.[1][2] She was one of the pioneers of critical art writing in India,[3] and who, as Indian Express noted, has "dominated the field of Indian contemporary art theory for three decades now".[4] Her writings include artists' monographs, exhibition catalogues, books, and sets of widely anthologized essays on art, film, and cultural theory.[5]
She has written various books, including Contemporary Indian Artists (1978), When Was Modernism: Essays on Contemporary Cultural Practice in India (2000) and Critic’s Compass: Navigating Practice (forthcoming).[6] She is one of the founder-editors of Journal of Arts & Ideas[7] (Delhi). She has also been on the advisory boards of Third Text[8] (London), Marg (Mumbai), and ARTMargins. She was a jury member of the Biennales of Venice (2005), Dakar (2006), and Sharjah (2007). She is a member of the Asian Art Council[9] at the Guggenheim Museum, Asia Art Archive in Hong Kong, and the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. She is a Trustee of the Sher-Gil Sundaram Arts Foundation (SSAF), Delhi, and the series editor of Art Documents (SSAF–Tulika Books).
She was awarded the Padma Shri for her contribution to Art by the Government of India in 2009.[10] She has previously taught at a number of universities, including the Indian Institutes of Technology and Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.[11]
Her husband was the artist Vivan Sundaram. In 2011, Hong Kong–based Asia Art Archive[12] (AAA) digitized their archive and held an exhibition titled, Another Life at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi in February 2011.[13]
