We are delighted to be participating Asia Week New York again this year, presenting an exhibition showcasing centuries of Himalayan and Indian artistic achievement.

Highlights of our exhibition include:

A finely-carved relief panel depicting Maitreya in Tushita Heaven, circa 3rd century, which exemplifies the sophisticated synthesis of Indic religious iconography with Hellenistic sculptural naturalism that defines Gandharan art.

A luminous gilt-copper alloy sculpture of the goddess Vasudhara, 12th/13th century, from the Zimmerman Collection and published in Dr. Pratapaditya Pal’s 1991 exhibition catalog, Art of the Himalayas: Treasures from Nepal and Tibet. Her sensuous modeling, delicate surface chasing, and refined gilding exemplify the extraordinary achievements of Newar metalworkers.

A painting of Six-Armed Mahakala and his Attendants, from Central Tibet, late seventeenth century, formerly in the collections of Giuseppe Tucci, Alice and Nasli Heeramaneck, and Christian Humann (the Pan-Asian Collection), which has been described by scholars as: “a masterpiece of the mystical black tangkas.”
