The Sagamore Hotel will present the world premier of artist Enrique Martinez Celaya’s The Master on Wednesday, November 30. The screening will take place during an event celebrating the US debut of Celaya’s Schneebett at the Miami Art Museum and is hosted by hotel owners Cricket and Martin Taplin.
The Master will be projected over the Sagamore Hotel pool and features Celaya as Ludwig van Beethoven. The artist paces the beach at dawn wearing 18th-century garb while gesturing repetitively. His restless movements contrast with the easiness of the sunrise behind him.
Schneebett is on view at the Miami Museum of Art through New Year’s Day 2012. It depicts the final hours of Beethoven’s life and was commissioned for the Berliner Philharmonie in 2004.
