Himalayan Art in 108 Objects by Karl Debreczeny

Himalayan Art in 108 Objects by Karl Debreczeny

In this beautifully illustrated volume, the fascinating story of Himalayan art is illuminated through a selection 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 Tibetan, Indian, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Mongolian, and Chinese regions, emphasising cross-cultural exchange with Tibet at the centre. Photographs and essays bring each object to life, introducing readers to the diversity and uniqueness of Tibetan, Himalayan, and Inner Asian art and practices, while highlighting the importance of the region in understanding broader Asia. Selected and authored by an international group of scholars and curators, these 108 objects offer an accessible introduction to this rich yet underrepresented field. This highly anticipated publication is part of the Rubin Museum’s Project Himalayan Art, an initiative to cultivate resources for teaching and learning about Himalayan art and cultures.

Karl Debreczeny is Senior Curator, Collections and Research, at the Rubin Museum of Art. Elena Pakhoutova is Senior Curator, Himalayan Art, at the Rubin Museum of Art.
