Unique monumental fabric banners for the landmark exhibition "Buddha: Radiant Awakening" at the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) which ran from 10 November 2001 to 24 February 2002.

The exhibition assembled more than 120 works of Buddhist art from a diverse range of countries and traditions to examine the idea of the multiple manifestations of the Buddha across time and space. The banners depict two Buddhas in the Tibetan tradition, one of Vajradhara, a detail from a gilt bronze statue loaned from Museum Rietburg (the printed caption to the lower right of the banner).

The banners are sold with a copy of the catalogue from the exhibition.…
