Sculpture by Vik Muniz Presented at Opening of New Louis Vuitton Store

During the inauguration of the new Louis Vuitton store in the city of Miami, artist Vik Muniz presented a sculpture that alludes to the French brand. The new boutique opened in Aventura Mall, a renowned shopping center. The sculpture consists of 23 brand logos that were rendered in various dimensions and that are part of a series of branches. Their variations are determined by the handling of color and by the manner in which this was applied. The piece was constructed with the collaboration of students from the "Spectaculu" NGO. This foundation aims at educating individuals who live in high-risk societies and centers its agenda around art, photography, and design. The closing act of the event organized by Louis Vuitton included a donation by the French brand to a NGO, as a reciprocal gesture in response to the artistic collaboration headed by Muniz during the inaugural act of the store.
