Miami Beach, FL – November 30, 2015 – The Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach hosted a dinner in celebration of Bosco Sodi’s six site-specific works created exclusively for the hotel’s permanent collection. The Brooklyn-based artist is known for his textured, colorful, and otherworldly pieces that combine raw materials with his spiritual approach to making art. Joining Paul and Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, Kim Heirston Evans, and Bosco Sodi were luminaries from the art, design, and fashion worlds for the celebration. Guests enjoyed a three course dinner prepared by Chef Jeff McInnis and Chef Janine Booth.

Also installed at the Shelborne Wyndham Grand for Art Basel Miami Beach is an installation by artist Will Ryman. Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos and Paul Kanavos have commissioned New York City-born and bred artist to install Freedom, a life sized sculpture of an iconic Harley Davidson for art lovers to enjoy at the fair this year.
