Istituto Marangoni Miami, in partnership with Fida, an organization dedicated to showcasing fashion artists worldwide, unveiled "Ultramarine - Private View
The audience has been dipped in a pigment-rich experience, exploring the blue hues of the lapis lazuli - the key ingredient needed to make the intense Ultramarine pigment - displayed against the backdrop of the dazzling Miami sea and sky.
Ultramarine remains one of the finest and most desired pigments, used by renaissance painters and contemporary artists alike. Drawing from the past, the artists have been inspired by the ultramarine colour, which has previously been used to depict the robes of the Virgin Mary to symbolize holiness and humility, including the cyanotypes of Robert Rauschenberg and as inspiration for the fashion collections of Phoebe Philo in SS17 for Celine, using the body print artworks of Yves Klein.
