Quick, before packers and movers come in to ship the Gandhara works on view at the Asia Society back to Pakistan, I popped in to (belatedly) see the show. Now, Gandhara works are not a favorite — many of the sculptures look clunky and lack grace; they are to my eye hybrids that don’t work. But there are times when the mix of Greco-Roman, South Asian and local antecedents produces something wonderful — like this depiction of an ascetic Siddhartha.
Today is the last day of the show.
