Art patrons Dominique Levy and Radhika Chopra share their personal journey and reflect on current trends in collecting contemporary Asian art in a conversation.

Radhika Chopra is an art lover and founder of luxury tea brand No. 3 Clive Road based in New Delhi. She is an Advisory Board Member of the Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA), patron of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale and an Arts Advisory Council Member of Harvard University’s Mittal South Asia Institute. She supported My East is Your West at The Venice Biennale 2015, and Word. Sound. Power, a collaboration between Tate Modern and Khoj International Artists’ Association.  

Dominique Levy and her husband Sylvain co-founded the DSL Collection. Their primary objective is in collecting Chinese contemporary art after a lifetime spent on collecting art and design objects from around the world. Kept as a family collection with their daughter Karen Levy managing the collection and addressing the issues of her millennial generation, the DSL Collection has been bridging art, humanities, and science, since its inception. From 2005, the collection went from a website to a 2D and 3D museum, and in 2012 a museum on Second Life and now augmented reality and virtual reality.
