Miami, FL – February 7, 2017 – Cadillac along with José Carlos Diaz celebrated the Cadillac x The Andy Warhol Museum’s Letters to Andy Warhol exhibition in the Miami Design District on Tuesday night with a cocktail to honor the interactive exhibition. It was a homecoming of sorts for the museum’s curator, José Díaz, former curator of Miami Beach’s Bass Museum. Guests included eyewear designers and visitors to Warhol’s original factory, Christian Roth and Eric Domege, artists Christina Lei Rodriguez and Typoe Gran, as well as notables Candela Ferro, Kothan Fernández, Sofia Joelsson, Eloy Carmenate, Adriana Castro, Klaudia Brown and Anthony Spinello. The evening began with guests arriving in a loading dock that became the famous artist’s “factory” for the evening, complete with a vintage 1958 Cadillac Eldorado. From there, an elevator whisked guests directly into the exhibition that combined vintage Cadillac imagery from Andy Warhol, letters written to the artist by luminaries such as Mick Jagger, Yves St. Laurent and Truman Capote, as well a new works from current artists based on these letters. The works include a VR-experience by Sean Lennon, a film directed by Chiara Clemente, a giant book by shoe-designer Brian Atwood and JJ Martin, and an insta-Warhol photo booth.
