Welcome to Thangka.ws, site dedicated to Tibetan Thang Ka.

In recent years, the Thangka collection market continues to heat up, from 2000 to date, the price of Thangka has nearly jumped 10 times. Those from the Ming and Qing dynasties have set record high prices such as at the 1994 Christie¡¯s auction in New York of one million U.S. dollars for a Thangka named ¡°Red Night Magic¡± of the Yongle Imperial system. At the 2002 Christie¡¯s auction in Hong Kong, a price of 30.8741 million Hong Kong dollars set a new record.

On August 13, 2008, "The Thousand Thangka of Gesar to welcome the Olympics" exhibition opened in Beijing Cultural Palace of Nationalities. The National Political Consultative Conference Chairman Jia Qinglin, Panchen Lama and other leaders visited the exhibition. The exhibition had aroused widespread attention at home and abroad.

In August 2008, the first International Thangka Art and Cultural Heritage Expo was held in Qinghai where many Thangka art treasures at home and abroad had attracted a lot of collectors. At the fair held during a Thangka art auction, after fierce bidding, eight Thangka works were auctioned off totaling 690,000 yuan. It is apparent that collecting Thangka is increasing becoming favored by consumers.
