Welcome to our 55th anniversary issue. Let’s celebrate! May I pour you a glass of this special-edition Dom Pérignon tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat? Great! Did you know that Dom Pérignon is named after a Benedictine monk who was the spiritual father of champagne? And that the assemblage is one of the foundations of the Dom Pérignon signature? And that Dom Pérignon is a champagne maison with an artistic culture, not a brand? Dom has been dropping tributes to and collaborations with legendary artists like Koons, Warhol, and Basquiat for decades. So what do Benedictine monks and Jean-Michel Basquiat have in common? The ability to thrill people of all eras. Wow guys, this is taking on a symbolic dimension. Anyway, Dom is for special occasions only. So let’s go! For a toast to Jean-Michel, flip to page 94. Cheers, guys!
