For this tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat, Dom Pérignon selected one of the artist’s most evocative and enigmatic works, In Italian (1983). In Basquiat’s art—as in Dom Pérignon’s winemaking—the idea of assemblage is central to creating an intense, immersive experience. Both require a deep respect for raw materials: the narrative elements that shape the story being told, and the physical components that, with their aesthetic and sensory qualities, ultimately define the character of the finished work.
