Vasudeo S. Gaitonde was regarded as one of India's foremost abstract painters. He completed his art diploma at Sir J. J. School of Art in 1948, and in 1950 was invited to join the influential Bombay Progressive Artists' Group. He received Padma Shri Award in 1971.
Gaitonde’s works reside in numerous museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York (the first Western museum to purchase one of his works, in 1963) the State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi, the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai. According to Deepanjana Klein, ‘95 to 98 per cent of Gaitonde’s collectors are of Indian origin, but his works are also sought out by Western collectors who got to know him during their tenure in India in the 1960s.’ See less
