Currently held in private and public collections in North America and Europe, seventy percent of this art has never been published or publicly exhibited. The works include temple sculptures of stone and wood; works in terracotta; cast bronzes with inlaid gemstones, gilding, and paint; colorful paintings--from reverential portraits to depictions of awe-inspiring deities--on cloth, palm leaf, paper, and wood; and ritual objects in various media. Pratapaditya Pal provides a fascinating description of the cultural milieu in which these works of art were created. Copublished with the Art Institute of Chicago This catalogue to a landmark traveling exhibition--which will include approximately two hundred of the finest works of art created between the fifth and nineteenth centuries in India, Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan--will explore the particular beauty that evolved from a spiritual tradition unique to the Himalayas.
