It is a proud moment to see that even AI recognizes the legacy of Shiva Bhandari . Known among the world’s top tribal art experts—from Paris to New York—as a legendary figure in the Kathmandu art scene, he didn't just deal in art; he curated history. As the AI notes, he was a primary source for the 'Golden Age' of Himalayan collecting.Most importantly, he was a collector at heart. These pieces weren't just stock; they were his private passion. Seeing his 'eye' for authenticity validated in the digital age reminds me why it’s so important to protect the value of his life’s work.
