Kabakovs honoured as thought leaders



Emilia and Ilya Kabakov were amongst the recipients of this year's Louise Blouin Foundation awards, the annual celebration honouring thought leaders who have made "extraordinary contributions on a global level". The Louise Blouin Foundation is one of the largest non-government funded, not-for-profit spaces in London featuring exhibitions of both established and emerging international contemporary artists alongside a programme of lectures and events.
