Dom Pérignon brought a slice of New York’s electric art scene to the heart of Berlin with a dazzling celebration honouring the legendary Jean-Michel Basquiat. On 15 October, the penthouse of the Boros Collection in Berlin-Mitte was transformed into a vibrant artist’s studio, where guests from the worlds of art, culture, and showbiz gathered for an unforgettable evening.
At the centre of this stylish affair was the German debut of Dom Pérignon’s Special Edition Vintage 2015, inspired by Basquiat’s bold artistic legacy. With a design featuring his iconic three-pronged crown, merged with the Dom Pérignon shield, the bottle is a striking tribute to the late artist’s distinctive energy and creativity. The label incorporates Basquiat’s 1983 work In Italian, blending tradition with the rebellious spirit of contemporary art – a fitting homage to both the artist and the champagne house’s commitment to excellence.
The night wasn’t just about fine champagne, though. British musician Benjamin Clementine delivered a spellbinding piano performance, while DJ Lary kept the crowd moving with a soulful set. Among the notable faces were actresses Aylin Tezel, Milena Tscharntke, and Luise von Finckh, alongside actors August Wittgenstein and David Schütter. Guests also included prominent figures from the art world such as Olafur Eliasson, Leiko Ikemura, and Andrew Moncrief.
The special edition bottle, priced around €254, is available now in stores. For more information, visit domperignon.com.
