Thangkas, made famous by the Tibetan scroll artists and which later spread to India and Nepal, are enjoying their share of popularity in the art market even now. In fact, they are auctioned overseas by Christie’s and Sotheby’s at periodic intervals and sometimes draw tall bids.

“Some of the art traditions have seen their ups and downs. But, among those forms which have maintained a level of creative productivity is the thangka tradition. And, depending on their period, quality and condition, they attract a good deal of attention at international auctions. Thangkas have been auctioned internationally for at least the past half a century.
