 RADIANCE FROM THE EAST. WORKS OF ART FROM INDIA, CHINA AND SOUTHEAST ASIA. We are delighted to present the catalogue for this year’s exhibition, to be held at our gallery from the 6th-28th November 2003 as part of the Asian Art in London events. With the exception of a wonderful Canton enamel dish, this year’s offerings are all sculptures. As with our previous exhibitions they encompass a wide range of epochs, countries and styles and are unique examples of their type. We are fortunate to have two more outstanding examples of the Qingzhou school of Chinese sculptures, one from the Eastern Wei and the other from the Northern Qi period. The former, an astonishingly beautiful standing Buddha from a dynasty that lasted only sixteen years, numbers among only a handful of such pieces to have survived. Gandhara sculpture from the Kushan kingdom is highly prized by collectors and we have two examples this year, both Buddhas with one from the twilight years of the era when the monastery site at Fondukistan was one of the last centres of creativity. Other highlights are a sleek, imperious Shiva head from medieval India and an exceptionally elegant standing Buddha from Laos. We both look forward to welcoming to our gallery once again for this year’s exhibition and would be delighted to answer any questions you may have, either before or during the event. | ||||
