FROM THE CROSSROADS TO THE HEART OF SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST ASIA
Indian and Southeast Art
September 20, 2006
New York - Following the morning sale of Modern and Contemporary Indian Art, the afternoon will be devoted to the classical foundations of art in India and Southeast Asia. The true connoisseur and history buff will appreciate many of the works of art coming up in the sale of Indian and Southeast Asian Art - be it Indian bronze or stone sculpture, Gandharan statues or Tibetan ritual objects - as the seeds that enabled the flourishing of artistic and religious expression across the centuries in Asia. Voluptuous or remarkably simple, monumental or miniature, these works light the path to a true understanding of India and Southeast Asia.
