The Insider

Sonia Kolesnikov-Jessop’s blog

LuxArtAsia provides daily updates for readers seeking an insider’s perspective on the Asian art world and the luxury industry in Asia.

The blog is a mix of original content, as well as links to my stories published in various international publications.

I started the blog in March 2010 and it was selected as one of the finalists for the 2010 Most Insightful Blog category by omy.sg.

Having worked full time for a financial newswire for 11 years, I made the switch to freelance writing shortly after I arrived in Asia in 2001. I now write on a regular basis for the International Herald Tribune and Prestige magazine. I have also written about Asian art for Newsweek (to which I contributed for eight years), ARTnews, Readers Digest and the South China Morning Post, amongst others. I appeared in several episodes of ChannelNews Asia series on Southeast Asian art in 2009, commenting on contemporary art developments in the region.

A graduate of the University of Georgia, as well as the Sorbonne, I live in Singapore with my husband and three little darlings.
