What are the activities of the Society for Indo-Asian Art Berlin (GIAK) ?

The Society for Indo-Asian Art Berlin was founded on 24 April 1993 as a non-profit organisation.

The Society aims to disseminate, deepen and promote the knowledge and understanding of Indian art, which, according to scholarly opinion, also includes the art of South-East and Central Asia. It is therefore here after referred to as Indo-Asian art.

In particular, the GIAK supports the collection of South, South-East and Central Asian art at the Museum of Asian Art, which was founded on 4 December 2006. The museum combines the former Museum of Indian Art and the Museum of East Asian Art and is one of the Berlin State Museums…

The Bar rdzong cave sanctuary in the western Tibetan Kha rtse valley – stylistic analysis, dating and interpretation

Various aspects of the wall paintings and inscriptions in the Bar rdzong cave sanctuary have been described by scholars in recent years, without focusing on a precise dating and interpretation of the site. The key to dating the shrine to the reign of the Western Tibetan king Grags pa lde (1230-1277) and to interpreting the shrine as a focal point of state importance lies in the analysis of the iconographic programme and the combination of various stylistic devices.
