The House of Ruinart kicked off Art Basel Miami Beach with a star-studded champagne fête celebrating artist Vik Muniz. Muniz’s artwork series, Shared Roots, was the inspiration behind the evening, which fused art and gastronomy while officially launching the Vik Muniz x Ruinart Champagne Leaf limited-edition print, in which 100% of the proceeds benefit Imazon, a Brazilian nonprofit dedicated to Amazon rainforest conservation.
Joan Smalls, Karolina Kurkova, Shea Marie, Caroline Vreeland, Chef Daniel Boulud, Peter Marino, Gaia Matisse, Hank Willis Thomas (artist), Aureta Thomollari, Marion Guggenheim, Jenny Lopez and Olivia Perez, as well as other art-world insiders, enjoyed Ruinart champagne within the lush Miami Beach Botanical Garden as DJ Timo Weiland set the mood with lively tunes.
