Assembly of the Exalted presents some 50 pieces from the remarkable
collection of Alice S. Kandell. The works, dating from the late
13th century to the early 20th, include great masterpieces and
emblematic examples of Tibetan Buddhist art. They are all presented
here as the constituents of a Tibetan Buddhist shrine. Shrines,
both modest and grand, are the primary sites of Tibetan Buddhist
practice, whether it be reciting scriptures, performing rituals,
saying prayers, or engaging in meditation. The introductory essays
thus focus on the Tibetan Buddhist shrine, describing its evolution
over the history of Buddhism, its special role in Tibet, and how
the pieces in the Kandell Collection came to be assembled and
displayed in shrines at institutions across America. Illustrated
with vivid photography, forty short essays, each centered on a
single work or set of objects, describe the pieces in terms of
their importance for the practice of Buddhism, highlighting the
many essential functions of Tibetan Buddhist art within the space
of a shrine.
