【Book Description】

Visualizing Dunhuang: Seeing, Studying, and Conserving the Caves is a richly illustrated and scholarly volume that explores how the Dunhuang cave temples have been seen, interpreted, and preserved from their creation to the present day. Published as a paperback edition of the ninth volume in the Dunhuang Studies series by the Tang Center for East Asian Art at Princeton University, this book makes the profound cultural and historical legacy of Dunhuang more accessible to a broader audience.

Located at a strategic crossroads of the ancient Silk Road, Dunhuang has been a cultural and religious hub for over a thousand years. Since the 4th century, more than 500 Buddhist cave temples—including the famous Mogao and Yulin Caves—have been carved into the cliffs of this desert region. These caves house an extraordinary collection of wall paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, and portable artworks, documenting evolving Buddhist beliefs, artistic styles, and patterns of imperial and private patronage. Dunhuang stands at the intersection of art, religion, and history—a site that continues to inspire artists, scholars, and conservators alike.

At the heart of this volume is the Lo Archive, an extensive photographic collection created in the 1940s by American scholars James and Lucy Lo. These photographs preserve invaluable records of the caves, many of which have since deteriorated or been lost. Through carefully selected images from the Lo Archive and modern photography, this book explores Dunhuang from three critical perspectives: as a historical record, as a physical site, and as a subject of art historical inquiry.

The book features essays by leading scholars from Asia, Europe, and North America, covering diverse topics such as expeditionary photography, cave architecture, mural styles, ritual practices, and conservation methods. Contributors include Neville Agnew, Dora Ching, Jun Hu, Annette Juliano, Richard Kent, Wei-Cheng Lin, Cary Liu, Maria Menshikova, Jerome Silbergeld, Roderick Whitfield, and Zhao Shengliang. Together, their insights demonstrate the continued scholarly vitality of Dunhuang studies and underscore the site's global significance.

More than just a research volume, Visualizing Dunhuang is a journey across time and space—inviting readers to revisit this cultural treasure of the desert through the lens of both ancient artisans and modern scholars. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring resonance of Dunhuang’s legacy and a compelling tribute to its preservation and rediscovery.
