Miami, FL – March 12, 2014 – The Bass Museum of Art, one of Miami Beach’s key cultural landmarks, along with a select group of the city’s leading arts patrons, socialites and tastemakers hosted its annual fundraiser, “A Night at the Museum,” on Wednesday evening. Sponsored by Vogue México and Latin-America and in part by Escada, the soiree attracted more than 500 guests who received a private preview of Vanitas: Fashion and Art. While enjoying cocktails, refreshments, Chateau D’Esclans rosé at the Escada Escape Lounge and beats by DJ Mauricio Parra, attendees explored the institution’s latest exhibition, Vanitas: Fashion and Art. Continuing its mission to “inspire and educate by exploring the connections between our historical collections and contemporary art” Vanitas: Fashion and Art explores the theme of vanitas as expressed in avant garde ready-to-wear and haute couture as well as in contemporary paintings, sculptures, industrial design and new media. The exhibition included works by contemporary designers and artists. The installation also highlighted rare examples of the Bass Museum of Art’s remarkable collection of historic frames by incorporating them spatially in the installation to create a dynamic and interactive engagement of artworks and viewer. Attendees were also given the opportunity to participate in a thrilling silent auction including art, experiences and luxury items.
