St. Petersburg: Herm, 2025. Sewn cl. This catalogue of an exhibition demonstrates the extraordinary richness of the Hermitage's collections of Asian art and specifically Tibetan art. Collecting Asian art and material culture received an impulse from Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich's (the future Nicholas II's) trip to Asia in the late nineteenth century and from expeditions in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by explorers, scholars and artists such as Petr Kozlov, Esper Ukhtomskii, Nicholas and Iurii Roerich. Hence the breadth and depth of this catalogue, which publishes many works for the first time and builds on rather than duplicates the last major Hermitage publication on Tibetan art in 2015 ("Obitel' miloserdiia": iskusstvo tibetskogo buddizma. Katalog vystavki ["Abode of Charity": Tibetan Buddhist Art. Exhibition Catalogue], 9785935726171). The catalogue publishes works from the eighth to the early twentieth centuries in several genres: bronze statues, paintings on silk and canvas, prints, fresco fragments, for example. The works originate in broad swathe of regions imbued with Buddhism such as Kashmir, Nepal, Buryatia, Mongolia, Tibet, and China. 600 p., 30 cm, approx. 500 color illus., Rus. with title page and summary in ENGLISH.
