The abuse of alcohol is dangerous for your health. Drink responsibly. Veuve Clicquot supports the responsible consumption of wines and spirits, through Moët Hennessy, member of Spirits EUROPE, Discus and Wine in Moderation.
Veuve Clicquot’s Solaire cultural imprint finds new expression in 2024, in association with the legendary Magnum Photos agency.
Together, they announce Emotions of the Sun, a touring photographic celebration of the Sun – that universal symbol of joy and optimism. For the first time, eight photographers present their responses to the same brief: a creative carte blanche to convey the emotions inspired in them by the Sun.
The photo exhibition will be revealed during Milan Design Week, taking place at Garden Senato Milano, from April 16th to 21st. The exhibition space was designed by Constance Guisset.
The event will feature 40 prints shot by Magnum photographers, a Clicquot Café offering an immersive Sun in your plate experience paired with Veuve Clicquot champagnes and an exclusive boutique.
.
The eight Magnum photographers deliver one or more moments in response to this solar theme, in eight different countries – sometimes their own, sometimes a destination they love.
Captured in 40 new photographs, each one of them is an illustration of the Sun’s power, across an extraordinary spectrum of emotions, shapes and colours, from vast outdoor spaces to intimate interiors.
The exhibition is complemented by an exceptional tasting menu on the theme of the Sun in your plate.
Discover specially created, inspirational dishes that reflect the Sun from world-renowned Chefs: Jean Imbert of Paris’s Plaza Athénée, Mory Sacko of MoSuke Paris, Valentina Rizzo of Farmacia dei Sani in Ruffano, Italy, and Karime Lopez, at Gucci Osteria in Florence.
Signature dishes will be served all day, paired with selected cuvées from Veuve Clicquot.
Come and discover a unique boutique, showcasing the best of Maison Veuve Clicquot: a selection of photography books, designer objects, the exhibition poster, and our most iconic cuvées.
An exclusive coffret containing a selection of photographs from Emotions of the Sun, signed by the artists, will also be available as limited edition.
The perfect way to take a flavour of this exceptional experience home.

Photography is a collaboration between an artist and the light – in particular the Sun, that inexhaustible source of inspiration, our chief of source of light, without which no photographer can practice their art.
Inspired by the unique connection between photographers and the Sun, Maison Veuve Clicquot is proud to begin this new, cultural chapter in its story, partnering the legendary Magnum Photos agency.
