Biography

Christian Luczanits studied Tibetan and Buddhist Studies at the Institute of Tibetan and Buddhist Studies, University of Vienna, Austria, with a focus on art historical subjects. There he completed his PhD under the external supervision of the late Maurizio Taddei, Istituto Universitario Orientale, Napoli. Following his PhD he held research positions at the University of Vienna until 2000, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, 2000 to 2003, and the Lumbini International Research Institute, 2005/06. Christian Luczanits also held visiting professorships at UC Berkeley in 2004/05, at Free University in Berlin 2006–08, and at Stanford University and UC Berkeley in the first half of 2010. While teaching in Berlin Christian Luczanits also curated the exhibition "Gandhara – the Buddhist Heritage of Pakistan. Legends, Monasteries and Paradise" at the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in Bonn together with Michael Jansen and was responsible for its catalogue. Before joining SOAS he has been Senior Curator at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York.

Christian Luczanits’ primary research area is the period when the Tibetans took over Buddhism from India, and when Tibetan Buddhism gradually developed its distinctive form (7th to 15th centuries). Throughout this period, the art preserved in Himalayan monuments contributes substantially to the understanding of later Buddhist art in South Asia and the development of Indian esoteric religious forms in general, the processes of adoption and adaptation of these forms in the formulation of a distinctively Tibetan Buddhism, and the competing public faces of Buddhism in Tibet. Within this broader frame he most extensively works on the monuments in and artefacts from the Western Himalayas and their relation to developments in Central Tibet.

More recent research focuses on early Buddhist art during and after the Kushana period (1st to 5th centuries), in particular the representations of the Bodhisattva and future Buddha Maitreya and their relationship to the development of Mahayana Buddhism.
