Baxter & Cook to Represent The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama

Baxter & Cook Art Advisors chosen by the Committee of 100 for Tibet and The Dalai Lama Foundation as sales agents for artwork exhibited in The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama exhibition, currently on view at The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco through March 16, 2008.

The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama is a multi-media art exhibition that brings together 88 respected artists representing 30 countries. The exhibition has been shown in Los Angeles and New York and will travel to Tokyo, Japan and other venues around the world for several years. Many of the artists have created new work for the exhibition in a wide variety of media, including photography, painting, textiles, animation and sculpture, video and installation works. Artists with work in the exhibition include Bill Viola, El Anatsui, Richard Avedon, Christo, Guy Buffet, Chuck Close, Marina Abramovic, Herb Ritts and Anish Kapoor. The Missing Peace is collaboration between the Committee of 100 for Tibet and the Dalai Lama Foundation. The artists, both established and emerging, were selected because their work addresses themes that are embodied by the Dalai Lama: compassion, peace, unity of all things, impermanence, spirituality, belief systems, community and people in exile, non-violence, happiness and tolerance.

Purchase of artwork in The Missing Peace Project accomplishes the following:

• Provides financial support to assist the exhibition as it travels from city to city.
• Enables the exhibition and the messages of peace by His Holiness to reach many more people in the world.
• Provides a strong presence and recognition of the exiled Tibetan community and the Tibetan cause within Tibet.
• Provides a platform for the two non-profit co-sponsoring organizations -- the Committee of 100 for Tibet and The Dalai Lama Foundation.
• Conveys the idea of a more peaceful world as envisioned by the Dalai Lama, who fully supports and is actively engaged in The Missing Peace Project.
