Portrait of Chitra Ganesh

She’s received grants and awards from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation, the Joan Mitchell Foundation, and the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University, and her work is part of the permanent collections of MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Devi Art Foundation (India), Kiran Nadar Museum (India), the Saatchi Collection (U.K.), and elsewhere.
