Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Gandhara, with its wide variety of architectural remains and sculptures, has for many decades perplexed students of South and Central Asia. Kurt Behrendt in this volume for the first time and convincingly offers a description of the development of 2nd century B.C.E. to 8th century C.E. Buddhist sacred centers in ancient Gandhara, today northwest Pakistan. Regional variations in architecture and sculpture in the Peshawar basin, Swat, and Taxila are discussed. At last a chronological framework is given for the architecture and the sculpture of Gandhara, but also light is being shed on how relic structures were utilized through time, as devotional imagery became increasingly significant to Buddhist religious practice. With an important comparative overview of architectural remains, it is indispensable for all those interested in the development of the early Buddhist tradition of south and central Asia and the roots of Buddhism elsewhere in Asia.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Original softcover binding, 256 pages, 175 colour illustrations, map, otherwise very good condition. With essay by Christian Luczanits, Visualizing the Taboo in Esoteric Buddhism, and Amy Heller, Compassion as Essence: Bodhisattvas as Spirtual Guides. Catalogue of a major exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum (19 September 2024 - 12 January 2025). If you want to know how a Mandala works, the books by Martin Brauen are far better. If you want to see some of the finest Tibetan art, you are right here. The illustrations are excellent. You have to have some knowledge to make a connection between Tibetan armour or jewellry to the subject of the book, but, as mentioned, the Metropolitan amassed one of the finest collections of Tibetan art and some of it is depicted here, together with some important items from private collections often never seen before (or a long time ago, like the brilliant southern Tibetan Virupa Thangka in the Kinney collection, sold by Koller (persistently written "Köller" in the catalogue) in their 25 June 1993 sale, never seen since). The desciptions of the items are collected at the end, quite uncomfortable and mostly only iconographic descriptions, ignoring art history. The first catalogue mentioned all known provenance, which sometimes is curious. The Met purchased incredible detailed miniatures from a Prajanparamita text in 2001 in Nepal, one wonders how a export licence was procured for this. The Kronos Collection made apparently several puchases from a "Great Here Ltd.", about which no information can be found. The lenders are also sometimes spelt with typos (Somylo instead of Somlyo), and Chino Roncoroni, probably the most important dealer in Tibetan art in recent decades, is mentioned in different variations with different locations of residence, so that one could get the impression that different people are meant. These are minor flaws, even though quite curious, seeing that it must have been a major effort to put together this exhiption. The works of art are flawless and stunning. The perhaps finest mandala in existence is shown in the an excellent full page illustration, even though it is not to be seen in the exhibtion, the jewel like Kalachakra Mandala in the Michael Henss collection, sourced also from Koller in 1993, from the same collection (and same auction) as the Kinney thangka.
