Miami Beach, FL – December 2, 2016 – The Wolfsonian celebrated Art Basel with a MORE IS MORE VIP celebration featuring Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra, cocktails by Bacardi, and a transformative architectural intervention by contemporary artist Christie van der Haak. In wrapping The Wolfsonian’s iconic facade and lobby with her signature tapestry and batik-inspired patterns, The Hague-based contemporary artist Christie van der Haak created a striking encounter with contemporary Dutch design. Her extraordinary, intricate art bridges the historic focus of our major exhibition Modern Dutch Design with the present day, and mirrors the coexistence of different styles and movements by changing patterns throughout the installation. Paired with nightly projections, van der Haak’s project brought the legacy of Dutch design pioneers into full public view for Miami Art Week 2016 and beyond.
