Tenzing Asian Art specializes in exquisite and significant Himalayan art, featuring rare early Buddhist objects from Kashmir, Pala India, and early Nepali art that survived in Tibet. These exceptional pieces, chosen for their beauty and historical significance, reflect the rich stylistic diversity of early period in Tibet.
Established in 2006 by Iwona Tenzing to provide curatorial services to prominent California collectors, the gallery expanded in 2015 when Iwona partnered with Chino Roncoroni, a veteran expert in Himalayan art. Together, they have assembled notable collections in Hong Kong, mainland China, and Europe.
Chino Roncoroni is internationally renowned for his expertise in Himalayan art and Central Asian textiles. Over his forty-year career, he has contributed to the collections of prestigious institutions, including the Musée Guimet, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. He was pivotal in the Art Institute of Chicago’s 2003 exhibit “Himalayas: An Aesthetic Adventure,” which remains a landmark exhibition.
Chino has sponsored numerous scholarly projects, including Dr. Amy Heller’s books “Tibetan Art” and “Hidden Treasures of the Himalayas.” In collaboration with the Pritzker family, these works have advanced the study of Himalayan art.
Together, Iwona and Chino have facilitated significant acquisitions for the Zhiguan Museum of Fine Art in Beijing, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Tsz Shan Monastery Buddhist Art Museum in Hong Kong.
Operating internationally, Tenzing Asian Art collaborates closely with museum curators and holds private viewings in Hong Kong and Europe.
