Description
Carolin Young grew up in Brooklyn, New York, one of two siblings, but using Voltaire’s expression considers herself ‘a citizen of the world’. The family travelled extensively including to China in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution, where she attended an all-Chinese school. She completed her undergraduate degree in European history at Oberlin College, Ohio, where she partook in a number of ‘study abroad’ programmes (including a time in Oxford), and subsequently studied Decorative Art History in London at Christies, the London auction house, when she was awarded a Royal Society of Arts Diploma. Subsequent to that she presented lectures at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in New York on the history of dining.
