Miami Beach – 30 November 2016
At the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach, artist Yvette Mattern unveiled it’s Global Rainbow during Art Basel Miami Beach. Dubbed the #RitzRainbow, Mattern’s large-scale, laser light beam installation will originate from Lionheart Capital’s headquarters in the heart of Miami’s Design District, casting a spectacular array of light across the city, and over Biscayne Bay from Monday, November 28th through Saturday, December 3rd.
When activated, the #RitzRainbow can be seen for as far as 25-miles – a gift to the city of Miami that spreads positivity and celebrates the beauty of light, art and the human spirit. “We are excited to be working with Yvette to bring the Global Rainbow to Miami,” says Ophir Sternberg, Founding Partner and CEO of Lionheart Capital. “It’s visually stunning, our entire community will enjoy this beautiful work of art.”
Because light plays a principal role in the design vision that is defining the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach, the use of Mattern’s most famous medium was a natural choice for Lionheart Capital and their architect Piero Lissoni. “If you are a traveler and you land for the first time in Miami,” says Lissoni, “The first feeling when you land is the quality of light; it is absolutely special.”
The #RitzRainbow will be on display and viewable for as far as 25-mile radius until December 3rd, from 6 pm to midnight.
