    Discover the Dunhuang Legacy Preserved Across the Globe

    For the first time in English, Essential Cultural Relics of China in Museums Overseas: Extant Dunhuang Paintings and Murals brings together a remarkable selection of Dunhuang paintings and murals currently housed in major museums around the world.

    Compiled by Kou Qin—a leading figure in China‘s art and auction industry—and translated by Li Miao, this volume offers a comprehensive visual and historical record of these dispersed treasures. Each piece is presented with meticulous descriptions covering acquisition history, provenance, and artistic significance, shedding light on both the artworks themselves and the stories of their journeys overseas.

    What’s Inside:

    • High-quality reproductions of representative Dunhuang paintings and murals from global museum collections

    • Detailed entries on each work‘s acquisition date, provenance, and art historical value

    • Scholarly introductions by Professor Ning Qiang (Capital Normal University) and Hu Yiwen (Central Academy of Fine Arts)

    • An essential reference for scholars, collectors, and anyone passionate about Chinese Buddhist art and cultural heritage

    This revised second edition (2025) corrects errors from the first edition and features updated layouts, making it the definitive English-language resource on overseas Dunhuang art collections.
