Here is an impressive set of twenty-one paintings depicting a large central Shakyamuni Buddha in each with the one hundred and eight previous life and life stories of the Buddha surrounding the center. It is quite impressive to see all hung together and even more impressive that the set is still together. It is very common for art dealers, East and West, to break up sets because the dealers can get more money for individual paintings than for sets of paintings.
Yes, it is Asia Week again in New York City, but for those of you that have been through a few Asia Weeks, then you know it is more like two, three or four weeks in total time investment and cumulative exhaustion.
