Guoying Stacy Zhang | Decoding Buddhist Art

Guoying Stacy Zhang is an art historian and advisor specializing in Buddhist art. She previously served as the associate curator of the Tsz Shan Monastery Buddhist Art Museum and she has advised numerous private collectors on their acquisitions. Her latest work focuses on the intersection of art, spirituality, and technology. In our conversation, she discussed the history of Buddhism, some of themes and motifs in artwork, and how works have evolved over the centuries. We discussed a stone carving of Buddha Sheltered by the Serpent King Muchalinda.

Arts Madness 2025

Season 11 is all about my Arts Madness Tournament. Once again, I hope you will weigh in on your favorite artists/artworks as we go from 64 down to 1. For this year’s tournament, I put 32 works from the AP Art History list in one bracket, and on the other side, I have 32 artists/works from my personal “Salon des Refusés” that were not included in the curriculum. Voting for Round 2 will begin Monday, March 3.
