To celebrate the 11th edition of the Vendemmia d’Artista, @ornellaiawinery invited Shirin Neshat to interpret the character of the estate’s 2016 #wine, “La Tensione” (Tension), and customise a series of 111 large format bottles as well as a special label to be included on one 75cl bottle in each case of the vintage. The artist’s concept is centered around the theme of wine as a catalyst for social sharing, a life force that should be “enjoyed during our brief time on earth”, in the words of the 11th-century Persian poet Omar Khayyam whose poem is inscribed as calligraphy over the surfaces of female faces, hands and bodies. Every year since the release of Ornellaia 2006 in 2009, a contemporary artist has created a site-specific work of art and a series of limited-edition labels as part of the Vendemmia d’Artista programme. Earlier this year, Ornellaia announced its support of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation as part of a three year partnership which will see the expansion of the museum’s innovative programme, ‘Mind's Eye’, developed by its education department in 2008 to help individuals who are blind or have low vision experience art through all their senses. Featuring 9 Imperials (6L) and a unique 1 of 1 Salmanazar (9L), the auction will run until 13 September. Photographs courtesy of Ornellaia. #SothebysWine」8月29日 16時58分
