Art and fashion patrons from around the world joined Ruinart Champagne, the first established Champagne House, to experience Liu Bolin’s creation process in action as he was live-painted at the Miami Botanical Garden amongst a large-scale installation of Ruinart’s iconic rounded bottles.


Throughout the week, art and Champagne lovers alike will be able to immerse themselves in the world of Ruinart x Liu Bolin through an installation at the Ruinart Lounge at Art Basel. Additionally, a Bolin-inspired tasting menu will be available at Cantonese hotspot Hakkasan.

As they watched the behind-the-scenes look at Bolin’s meticulous artistic method, guest sipped Ruinart’s beloved Rosé paired alongside canapes from Michelle Bernstein and tunes by DJ Timo Weiland.
