Zustand: Sehr gut. Original softcover binding 50 pages, illustrated throughout, one folding plate, very good condition. Alain Bordier assembled (mostly with the help of Ulrich von Schroeder) a comprehensive, museum quality collection of about 600 objects and founded his private Tibet Museum at Gruyères, where he converted an old chapel to a museum of religious art from the Himalayas - an impressive atmosphere. 18 masterpieces are illustrated in this book, including works by the 10th Karmapa in his unique style. Frontispiece of the "naked Jowo" at the Jokhang, Lhasa. A very rare photo the monks try to avoid to be taken, even though they are happy to perform the gilding ceremony sponsored by Westerners. The texts are an introduction to Tibetan art, not a detailed analysis of the depicted artworks. Interesting book, difficult to source. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
