It is with great sadness that I write to share
that John C. Huntington passed away this past
Sunday, November 28th, after an extended
illness. He is survived by his wife and partner
in art-historical studies, Susan, their son
Eric, and daughter-in-law, Yumi.
John was a supportive adviser and mentor, who
nurtured many students in their pursuit of
knowledge about Buddhist and Himalayan art
during his tenure at Ohio State. His
publications on Buddhist art spanned the vast
and diverse regions of Asia, but focused
primarily on South Asia and the Himalayas. The
John C. and Susan L. Huntington Photographic
Archive of Buddhist and Asian Art, originally at
The Ohio State University and now at the
University of Chicago, stands as a lasting
legacy of John's scholarship and photographic
documentation of art and architecture across
Asia. John’s absence is already deeply felt.
