"The Rubin Museum of Art is honored to present 'Himalayan Art in 108 Objects' to readers interested in Himalayan art and cultures specifically, as well as those fascinated by the art and cultures of Asia more broadly. This accessible introduction traces the art and material culture of the Tibetan, Himalayan, and Inner Asian regions with a focus on cross-cultural exchange. The object-centered approach is loosely modeled after the British Museum's 'A History of the World in 100 Objects' and features contributions from 72 international scholars, who explore 108 -- an auspicious number -- objects and sites from the perspectives of a wide range of fields and disciplines. It provides multiple access points for a deeper understanding of the region and its art and cultures. (...)"--Foreword, p.14.
