"Despite the remoteness and harshness of the terrain of the high Himalayas, the arts of Nepal and Tibet did not develop in splendid isolation. On the contrary, in addition to interacting with each other, both countries remained open to ideas from outside that contributed to enriching their artistic traditions. Both the Newars and the Tibetans are receptive and inventive people. The incredible richness and diversity of their artistic heritage as represented in the Zimmerman Collection amply attest to both their fecund imagination and their superb technical skill. It would be futile to try to understand the objects' iconographic complexity, but in this most permissive and eclectic age in art history, few viewers can remain unmoved by the delightfully expressive and dramatically exciting forms created by generations of unknown Himalayan artists. None of the objects in the Zimmerman Collection, whether from Tibet or Nepal, ever decorated a wall or mantel, and all were primarily esteemed for their spiritual significance rather than their aesthetic allure. In this artistic tradition beauty is not admired for its own sake; the image is viewed by the devotee in a state of grace." (intro.).
