Beautifully presented in two volumes, Taklung Painting: A Study in Chronology establishes a reliable foundation for assigning dates to nearly one hundred paintings associated with Taklung Monastery in central Tibet and its sister monastery, Riwoche in eastern Tibet. Using visual lineages (the succession of teachers represented in the top, side, and, occasionally, the bottom registers of paintings), inscriptions, narrative scenes (in which principal structures in the Taklung Monastery compound may be linked to specific dates), and style analysis, the author identifies fundamental parameters that help to create firm chronological designations for these c. twelfth to mid-sixteenth century paintings. This essential two-volume set includes more than 800 images, illustrating Taklung paintings in vivid detail, pointing out key visual comparisons and deciphering their many inscriptions.

JANE CASEY is an art historian specializing in Himalayan art.

With fond memories of having worked with her, attending seminars and seeing her yearly at the Frankfurt Book Fair. She is greatly missed.

Serindia’s new digital initiatives: A ‘digital permanency’ policy that embraces recent technology in three new ways:

1. The Atlas of Tibetan Medicine on the blockchain. This allows the images from the seminal book Tibetan Medical Paintings (1992) to be properly registered for access. These images serve as a catalogue for scholars and specialists. Details and access are available here qrco.de/atlasmedicine

2. NFTs — a new class of digital collectibles. We have created two collections: 1. NFT: The Atlas of Tibetan Medicine

Here’s our first NFT from the Atlas collection: qrco.de/nftatlas1

and 2. N superFluous Things — Digital design collectibles: N superFluous Things, based upon the Ming-dynasty taste-making treatise, Superfluous Things. We work with young artists in creating new works useable for both the metaverse and the physical. Link: qrco.de/superfluousthings (coming soon).

3. Migrating select digital assets onto an unerasable cloud hard drive. Working with new technology, we want to ensure important digital images remain for future applications.
