At the beginning of March, a collaborative acquisition of Tibetan art from the Jack Shear Collection was announced at the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College and the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College, both of New York, and at Williams College Museum of Art, located in Williamstown, Massachusetts. "These traditional Tibetan paintings are used as instructional and devotional objects, with Buddhist imagery painted on cloth and typically covered by a curtain of fabric and rolled for storage when not in use. Vivid illustrations on the front of the scrolls are complemented by detailed inscriptions on the reverse." Right now the work is on view at Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center for its inaugural exhibition, but presentations "at WCMA and at the Tang Museum are planned for the spring 2023 and fall 2023 semesters respectively."
