Description

In this beautifully illustrated volume, the fascinating story of Himalayan art is illuminated through a collection of significant objects from the Neolithic era to today.

Paintings, sculptures, drawings, textiles, architectural structures, and more serve as a guide to the historical traditions, rituals, social practices, and art forms from Tibet, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Mongolia, China, and Inner Asia, with an emphasis on cross-cultural exchange. Photographs and essays bring each object to life, introducing readers to the diversity and uniqueness of Himalayan art and practices, while highlighting the importance of the region in understanding broader Asia.

Selected and authored by an international group of scholars, curators, and artists, these 108 objects offer a comprehensive survey of this rich yet historically underrepresented field of art. This highly anticipated publication is part of the Rubin Museum’s Project Himalayan Art, an initiative designed to present a sweeping introduction to Himalayan art and culture.
