Back to Flip Side: The Unseen in Tibetan Art at Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art
About
Statement
The texts and images on the back of Tibetan art objects reveal clues to their meaning, function, and historical context. For the first time ever, both sides of a select group thangkas, sculptures, and initiation cards will be explored in detail. Dating from the 13th to the 19th century, these works of art illuminate the many uses of the other side in Tibetan culture.
