Dom Pérignon pays tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat through a special edition of Vintage 2015. This tribute embodies the spirit of innovation, heritage, and renewal, celebrating the meeting of two worlds.

A Special Edition - The Art of Assemblage

For this tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat, Dom Pérignon chose a work by the artist that is as meaningful as it is enigmatic, "In Italian" (1983).

In Basquiat’s work, as in Dom Pérignon’s vision, the assemblage is a key element for the intensity of the aesthetic experience. This would not be possible without the greatest attention to the material, since both the narrative material at the origin of the story one wants to tell, and the raw matter necessary to express it, with all its organoleptic and aesthetic characteristics, are decisive for the character of the final work.

The series includes three different boxes, each depicting a part of Basquiat’s painting, which can be reassembled by bringing the coffrets together.The design was imagined according to this principle of assemblage, dear to both Dom Pérignon and Basquiat.

To further strengthen the sense of the encounter between Dom Pérignon and Basquiat, each of the three parts of the artwork was studied in its components so that the name and emblem of the Maison harmoniously inscribe themselves on the box within the color fields of the painting, maximizing the sophisticated interplay of its forms and lines.

A true seal to this tribute, the label on the bottles, also created in three color variants, bears the hybrid emblem of the three-branched crown superimposed on the shield.
