Miami Beach, FL – December 2, 2014 – It was quite a big night over at nightlife dynamo, David Grutman’s residence on Tuesday evening as guests came out to celebrate the launch of Grey Goose Le Melon with renowned artist Kehinde Wiley via the “Modern Kings of Culture Portrait Series at Art Basel. Attendee’s filled the stunning lit backyard, where they had the opportunity to see all of the portraits together for the first time and submit pre-bids ahead of the public auction on Thursday at the SLS Hotel. The night kicked off with a lively cocktail reception, where guests mingled poolside while enjoying refreshing Grey Goose Le Melon cocktails, which included the 25th Silver Anniversary, Grey Goose Melon Beatz, Grey Goose Le Melon Score, and the Classic Martini. An intimate bar tucked away by the dock featured Grey Goose VX, lending sense of discovery for guests meandering through the grounds. All night there was a packed crowd admiring the three original works, which feature Spike Lee, Swizz Beatz, and Carmelo Anthony, each posed in Kehinde Wiley’s signature royal iconography. Kehinde Wiley gave a speech with Lyle Tick to officially unveil the three works together, and Swizz Beatz, who flew in just for the event, was effuse in his praise for Kehinde. Some famous faces in attendance included Paris HiltonMichael Bay, Scottie and Larsa Pippen, and Mr. Brainwash.
