Chitra Ganesh | The Inheritance: Selections from the Whitney's Collection, 1971-2022 | The Whitney Museum of American Art

Hales is delighted to announce the inclusion of Chitra Ganesh in The Inheritance: Selections from the Whitney's Collection, 1971-2022 at the Whitney Museum, New York, NY.
 
Inheritance traces the idea of inheritance—i.e. what we have been left with or received from the past—across familial, historical, and aesthetic lines. Presenting mostly new acquisitions and works not frequently on view at the Museum, this exhibition explores ideas of (re)birth, (re)generation, repetition, and recursiveness through a diverse array of permanent collection works from the 1970s to today.
 
Drawing inspiration from Ephraim Asili’s 2020 film of the same title, Inheritance interweaves narrative with documentary, layering quotidian, individual experiences atop historical and generational events. Rather than draw a distinction between these, the exhibition considers the notion of inheritance as a concept or method of transmission: from one time to the next, one person to the next, one idea to the next.
