Miami, FL – December 3, 2012 –  Monday, Celebrity Reflection, the newest ship in the Celebrity fleet, with an innovative, original art collection, debuted in Miami before the ship sets sail on its inaugural Stateside voyage. The collection is part of the fleetwide Celebrity Art Collection, representing a nearly $60-million investment across the fleet, showcasing conceptually strong, unique pieces and providing a rare opportunity to view art outside of conventional museum and gallery venues.

To mark the launch of Celebrity Reflection and its brilliant art collection, ICArt and Celebrity Cruises hosted an exclusive press and VIP event onboard the ship December 3, coinciding with the start of Art Basel Miami Beach week. At the event on Celebrity Reflection, invited guests viewed the unique collection, met and mingled with contributing artists, and witnessed 2008 Whitney Biennale participant and conceptual artist Bert Rodriguez’s performance, “Everywhere I Look, I Only See Myself.”
