Reflections of
the Buddha
September 9, 2011 - March 10, 2012
For the first exhibition of its tenth-anniversary season, The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts presents
Reflections of the Buddha, a unique encounter with several major visual and spiritual Buddhist traditions. The
exhibition’s twenty-two artworks, on loan from important American collections, were created in Afghanistan,
China, India, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, and Tibet and date from the second to the eighteenth
centuries. Each one is experienced in harmony with the serene atmosphere of the Pulitzer’s building, designed
by master architect Tadao Ando. Three related works of contemporary art add to the resonance of the
exhibition’s theme.
Admission to the Pulitzer is free.
Hours: Wednesdays noon – 5pm | Saturdays 10am – 5pm
