From all other standpoints, the idea seems wildly implausible. In the first place, Mongolia is a non-chattel society whose artistic output has historically been restricted to religious images. Secondly, the 20th-century civilization of Mongolia is mostly not recognizably of the 20th century elsewhere. So the very existence of a Mongolian avant-garde was a surprise, and its elaborate internal structures were wholly unanticipated.
I managed to get a few leads from friends in the capital city of Ulan Baatar, and the artists themselves helped organize tours of their studios. The network of Soros centers, dedicated to the principle of an open society, has provided a focus for artistic communities in many non-first world countries.
Mongolian culture is relatively cooperative, and I did not have the experience — so common in Moscow, Beijing, and New York — of artists telling me why their particular activities were more important or interesting than those of other artists. Indeed, I found artists who were warmly supportive of one another, who felt that the diversity within their community made it more credible.
Though atrocities took place in Mongolia during the Communist period, most citizens remained preoccupied with nonpolitical matters, and the idea of a dissident avant-garde working in a symbolic language to undermine the dominant politics of the place did not exist. Some of the artists who were official have now joined the world of the unofficial. Certainly there is not, among the avant-garde, the kind of scorn for official artists that existed in neighboring lands.
Artists now know something of the art of the West through magazines and newspapers brought by visitors or held in the archive of the Soros Foundation.

Such information is relatively new for them, however. During the many years before glasnost, they had to rely on information from Moscow to know of shifts even in the work of official Soviet artists, and they lived in a cultural vacuum.
These artists use none of the elaborate systems of playful reference and encoded meaning that the Moscow and Beijing avant-gardes have separately established. They grew up in a country of almost unimaginable beauty, perhaps the only place I have ever been where the landscape is more beautiful than great art. Inspired by Victorian travel books, he and his wife Monica went to eastern Turkey and were among the first climbers in Hakkari Province.
Once the Jewel in the Ottoman crown, Edirne is now a somnolent backwater on the Turkish borders of Greece and Bulgaria. Caroline and Andrew Finkel catch glimpses of its glorious past. The Turkish yahni has evolved little since the days of Genghis Khan.
Since Ottoman times it has been the same rich, satisfying dish. It fed the Janissaries, it fed the poor, it nourished students and it sustained sultans.
Imperial kaftans were presented in kaleidoscopic patchworks of silk that were works of art in their own right. It starts several centuries BC with beautiful pieces created by the peoples of the Steppes that tell us about the animals on which they depended in daily life and the mythical creatutes that saw them through to the afterlife.
