Style court

Style Court was launched in May 2006 with a focus on interior design, decorative arts, books and art history. My B.A. is in art history and my masters is in education. Past adventures include a five-year stint as a docent at the High Museum of Art, and a decade of writing for regional papers. Critical praise has come from the editors of Time, Elle Decor, Country Living, Apartment Therapy L.A., and from decorator Ruthie Sommers. In 2007, Style Court participated in several design*sponge features.

Ilya and Emilia Kabakov

The highlight of this visit to Venice was an interview and portrait session with Ilya and Emilia Kabakov at the Hotel Danieli for the inflight magazine of Swiss airlines. When asked how it felt to be ranked as one of the ten most influential world living artists, Emilia Kabakov didn't flinch an eye and simply replied : "I ignore it ! " "Opinions are for others." This time the Kabakov where showing a rather charming installation on the Gran Canale facing the Dogana and the Piazza San Marco, a boat hoisting sails made of drawings by venetian children.

Andrea. Venice. Andrea was on water and veg only. 

Asked why, he explained he was to compete a few days later for "Mister Italy" and had to compel to a severe diet but found it so strenuous that as soon as the competition would be over he would resume to eating and drinking and, the hell with it, might get fat like a goose. He'd be at the peak of his beauty for one day only...that's when I photographed him...
