An indispensable source for all lovers of the art of the Himalayan region, Kathmandu Valley Paintings provides visual access to the Ernst and Angela Jucker collection of Nepalese painting. The core of this peerless collection was assembled by the Juckers during the 1960s in India, with a few well-judged additions in recent years filling in the remaining stylistic and iconographic lacunae. The collection gives an excellent overall view of the painting tradition in the Kathmandu Valley from the thirteenth through nineteenth centuries – including several extremely rare scrolls for which there are no comparable pieces in other private or public collections. The Jucker collection is a revelatory glimpse at the story of Nepalese painting for every lover of Asian art, both scholar and novice.

KATHMANDU VALLEY PAINTING. THE JUCKER COLLECTION,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kathmandu Valley Paintings (Hardcover)
IN MY OPINION ART BOOKS MUST BE AVAILABLE IN TWO FORMS AT LEAST. THE FIRST A DELUXE EDITION AND THE SECOND AN EDITION ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS AND PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT EITHER CANNOT BUY EXPENSIVE EDITIONS, IN BOTH QUALITY IS A MUST. THERE MIGHT BE A THIRD CHOICE FOR THOSE WILLING TO HAVE A MASTERWORK BY MEANS OF A LIMITED EDITION NOT ONLY IN ITS PRESENTATION BUT ALSO WHITH A PARTICULAR OR BETTER STILL A FOREWORD OR AN INTRODUCTION EXCLUSIVELY FOR THIS ISSUE BY A REPUTED SCHOLAR ON THE SUBJECT.
