Seller's Description:
New-in shrink wrap. Color-illus. wraps with white lettering on maroon spine. 176 pp. with numerous color illus. Catalogue from the exhibition of August 2011 to July 2012. "This special exhibition marks the completion of an extensive project to conserve the Mead Art Museum's collection of thangka (pronounced "tan-kah")-scroll paintings of Buddhist figures. So fragile that they have remained largely inaccessible to scholars and museum visitors for nearly six decades, Amherst College's eighteen thangka, primarily from Tibet, have been gently cleaned, stabilized, and repaired by conservators at Museum Textile Services in Andover, Massachusetts...Following twenty-one months of painstaking attention, the Mead's thangka have emerged transformed. Vibrantly colored, intricately patterned, and ranging in height from two to nine feet, each work rewards close study." (from the Mead Art Museum web site). Includes contributions by Robert A.F. Thurman, Maria Heim, Paola Zimmerman and Camille Myers Breeze, along with stunning images.
