New Delhi, March 4 (IANS) To increase its significant presence in the West, Delhi Art Gallery on Wednesday announced it would be opening its first gallery in New York on March 18.

The 7,000 square feet space in the iconic Fuller Building on New York's Madison Avenue will open with the exhibition "India Modern".
