The Indian & Himalayan Art auction is led by an important assemblage of Tibetan and Nepalese art from the Zimmerman Family Collection, the preeminent collection of Himalayan art in the United States, a part of which forms the core of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Himalayan holdings. The selection of twelve thangkas and bronzes, extensively published since the 1960's and included in major exhibitions of Himalayan art, is now being dispersed to the market on the occasion of the inaugural Asian Art auctions at the Breuer building.

Other highlights of the sale include a superb Khasa Malla copper alloy figure of Shakyamuni Buddha and a group of Gandharan sculpture from the collection of Paul Theroux, the celebrated travel writer and novelist.
