Art of Tibet
Selected Articles from Orientations 1981-1997


Since 1981, the availability of material has radically altered perceptions of Tibetan art and has raised the issue of connoisseurship. In recognition of the region's distinctive but rapidly disappearing cultural heritage, important fieldwork uncovering previously unknown sites has been actively pursued by scholars from many nations.

The book is a unique source of reference for anyone interested in Tibetan art. Included are essays by Valrae Reynolds, Jane Casey Singer, Terese Bartholomew, Thomas J. Pritzker, Ian Alsop, Pratapaditya Pal, Joseph Dye, Philip Denwood, Michael Henss, Deborah Klimburg-Salter, Heather Stoddard, Amy Heller, Helmut Neumann, Robert Linrothe, Helmut Uhlig and Christian Luczanits.
