Coinciding with the auctions and events of Asia Week in September,
Sotheby’s is pleased to present a selling exhibition, Footsteps of the Buddha: Masterworks
from Across the Buddhist World, the first of its kind in more than a decade at Sotheby’s. Offering an extraordinary
opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs, the selling exhibition traces the
historical development and transformation of Buddhist art as it traveled throughout
Asia from the 2nd century through the 21st century. This exhibition features
pan-Asian Buddhist paintings and sculptures from the ancient regions of
Gandhara, Nepal, Tibet, Korea, China and Japan. Organized jointly by Sotheby’s
Asian art division, the exhibition aims to
introduce important Buddhist artwork to a wider audience.
