Detail: This September, Sotheby’s will present Dharma and Tantra, a carefully curated auction of 75 sculptures, paintings and ritual works of art that encapsulate the development and diffusion of Buddhist art in Asia. The journey originates in the ancient region of Gandhara, progressing through Nepal and Tibet, traversing the Silk Road from the Sui dynasty to the Silla kingdom, and finally culminating in the Imperial palaces of Ming and Qing dynasty China.
