1980s East Village New York

With artist Alan Belcher opened Gallery Nature Morte in East Village, Manhattan, New York City in 1982.[2][3] Peter Nagy was a part of a generation of the East Village artist-gallery owners who established a small and rough but trendy avant-garde alternative to the established SoHo art scene.[4] The gallery was open for six years, until 1988.[3] They combined Conceptualism and Pop Art exploring the relationship between the art and the commodity.[5]

Indian contemporary art

In 1992, Nagy moved to New Delhi where he revived Gallery Nature Morte in 1997.[6] The Indian artist Subodh Gupta has said of him: "he has fresh eyes and has provided a platform for contemporary artists." [7]
