Zitat des Tages von Dasha Zhukova:
I have always dreamed of bringing an exhibit of Mark Rothko to Moscow.
If you're a devoted collector of design, you seek out objects you can love to live with but also live in.
I don't see myself as a person who just does one thing. I understand that sometimes that might sound a bit unprofessional. But I disagree.
There is a very strong theatre-going tradition in Moscow. It has stayed strong.
There is a huge thirst for knowledge among the younger generation for contemporary art, but most of them learn about it by going on the Internet.
I am drawn to humorous art that is ironic.
I'm quite disappointed that I'll never relive my teenage years.
I like messy. What fun is tidy?
Anyone who doesn't know anything about art knows the name of at least one artist.
I think one of my strengths is that I can always take advice, and I can delegate. I know a lot of people feel the need to do everything themselves, but I am not one of them.
I used to arm wrestle my roommate in college. Based on that, I'm in pretty good shape.
Most museums in Moscow, like Tretyakov, were established by philanthropists, whose passion for art allowed the development of culture on many levels.
I am definitely quick to adapt. I am not scared to come into a new environment.
My involvement in fashion is not at the highest artistic level.
It's important to know how to operate within the system you are existing in.
If a stranger is writing something completely fictitious, or insulting me on a blog or a tabloid, I don't take it personally.
I don't know what drives me, but I wake up in the morning, and I want to participate in the creative cultural conversation.
I have more ideas than I know what to do with. I guess I'm a bit of a fantasist and a daydreamer - all sorts of things come to me during the day.
I have had an interest in art since childhood. I loved to draw as a child and still do.
Money grants you freedom, I guess.
I haven't spent years in fashion making friends and making enemies.
I'm very proud of Soviet aesthetics.
The thing is, I grew up in L.A., so I had this unique opportunity to live in both communist Russia and see that life, and then move to America as a young girl and experience a completely different life.
