Indian Sculpture: Circa 500 B.C.-A.D. 700
The sheer wealth and dizzying diversity of Indian sculpture are celebrated in this second volume of the catalogue raisonne of the Los Angeles County Museum's collection. Nearly two hundred sculptures produced during eleven centuries are described. Of these, one-quarter of the pieces are part of the Nasli and Alice Heeramaneck Collection, while the remaining three-quarters have been acquired since 1970. This splendid collection, while not representing all the major styles of sculpture that flourished on the Indian subcontinent from 700-1900, is certainly one of the most comprehensive among American and European museums. Included are stone, metal, ivory, and wood sculptures from fourteen states and territories of India and from Pakistan and Afghanistan. Organized by regions--Central and Western, Eastern, and Southern India, and the Northwest--the catalogue contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of the 188 sculptures, many with details or multiple views, for a total of 259 illustrations--251 in duotone and halftone and 8 in color.

Indian Painting: 1000-1700
This volume is the first of two devoted to the museum's Indian paintings. The works shown here, created between 1000 and 1700, are divided into six sections: Buddhist manuscript illumination from Eastern India, Jain and Hindu painting, and Islamic, Mughal, and Deccani painting and calligraphy. Each of the 115 paintings is reproduced, many with additional details; each is discussed in terms of iconography, style, and history.
