Dunhuang Murals - Chinese Art on Silk Road
Dunhuang grottoes art is a solid art combining architecture, sculpture, and mural. Although Dunhuang murals only play a role of decoration, and a supplementary role to the sculptures in the Grottoes, but they feature the greatest number, the largest scale, the finest art skills and the richest content, providing very valuable information and material for research on ancient Chinese politics, economy, culture, military, geography, communication, social life, national relationship, religious history, art history, and exchanges with foreign countries and history of cultural exchanges. It is indeed a classic art heritage of great value.

Kojiro Umezaki Performs in the Cave Temples of Dunhuang at the Getty
In conjunction with the exhibition Cave Temples of Dunhuang, musicians from the Silk Road Ensemble are in residence at the Getty in spring and summer 2016 to create pop-up musical performances inspired by the art and replica caves on view.
Kojiro (Ko) Umezaki presents “Empty Bell, a traditional melody for the shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute). He was inspired to choose this music—which traces its origins to Japanese mendicant monks of the Fuke school—by the sculptural depictions of similar monks in replica Cave 285.

The Pauline and Joseph Degenfelder Lecture 2019: Caves of Dunhuang
The spectacular Buddhist caves of Dunhuang, on the Silk Road in the Gobi Desert in northwest China, are a UNESCO World Heritage site. This lecture presents the sites’ sculptures and wall paintings, among the finest and earliest examples of Buddhist art in China. Used by Buddhist monks since the AD 300s, the caves were the focus of worship and cultural interaction for thousands of years; they also served as a rich repository for precious art treasures and manuscripts that were rediscovered in the early 1900s. Dr. Mimi Gardner Gates, president of the American Friends of the Dunhuang Foundation, addresses the challenges of preserving the site today, as undertaken by the Dunhuang Academy in collaboration with the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles.
