In late 2020, conservators began examination and research of three paintings from Tibet. Each depicts a form of Tara, a female buddha from the pantheon of Tibetan Buddhism, seated within a paradisiacal landscape. The paintings, each about 26 by 18 inches, were mounted as panels and framed in the 1910s, but were originally intended as paintings on cloth that could be hung in a temple or shrine and rolled for storage when not in use. With generous support from Bank of America, not only will cleaning and stabilization of the paintings be possible, but conservators can now also investigate how to remount them in a manner that is closer to their original state as thangkas, or scroll paintings. Before decisions are made about format, conservators and curators will need to understand more about how, for whom, and why the paintings were created. The relevance of the objects today will also be explored in dialogue with specialists in iconography, Tibetan artists and teachers, and conservators treating Himalayan paintings at other institutions.
