KANORIA COLLECTION I: PAINTINGS ON THE THEME OF KRISHNA 4301-4400
The special work for this set, which involved photographing paintings in the Kanoria Collection, in Patna, in multiple originals, was made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and by the support of the Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies and the Department of the History of Art of the University of Michigan. Special thanks are due to Shri Gopi Krishna Kanoria and Shri Vinod Krishna Kanoria, along with their family, and to Dr. Anand Khrishna for their invaluable assitance, and to Mr. Patrick Young of the University of Michigan for working out the complex technical procedures for the photography. The photography team comprised Dr. Walter Spink, Dr. Siresh Vasant, Ms. Wendy Holden, Mr. Steven Markel, Ms. Colleen Fitzgerald, and Mr. Naval Krishna.
