Opened in 2008, Dasha Zukhova’s Center for Contemporary Culture in Moscow is now hosting its second exhibition. Highlighting the collection of Francois Pinault the exhibition is tauted as the most important showing of contemporary art to ever grace Russian soil. And, the reason is good, Pinault is top dog of the art world (according to ArtReview). Paul McCarthy, Jeff Koons and Cindy Sherman are among the names represented. (via Wallpaper*).

The exhibition runs until June 14, 2009.

A few examples of the art on view follow.

The Chanel Maison d’Art  “Paris- Moscou” Collection presented by Karl Lagerfeld  at the Ranelagh Theatre in Paris on December 3rd features highly stylized looks influenced by Coco Chanel’s fascination with Russian Culture. The looks for men we have from the show, look structured and and almost stiff which is not off base when deciphering the Moscow influence. But do appreciate the variety of military inspired wool overcoats – gives you that takeover kind of vibe. (via niwde)
