The Sensuous Immortals, A Selection of Sculptures from the Pan-Asian Collection, Pratapaditya Pal, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), MIT Press, 1977
Estimate : 5,000 - 7,000
This erudite publication by Pratapaditya Pal brings together the arts of India and Southeast Asia. It explores the influence of India on the arts, and looks at how changing boundaries enabled migration of religions. These religions, originally from India, had several sculptural entities or '"sensuous immortals" which were then adopted by other countries. The book originally grew out of an exhibition of Indian and Southeast Asian art held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in 1977/78 and in some ways serves as a text for that exhibition.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
