Hess Collection 1

Hess Winery, Napa Valley

As it turns out, the owner and proprietor of Hess Vineyards is also a world class collector of contemporary art.
Housed next to his winery is a three storey gallery of many of his treasured works from around the world.
The wine tour was already most enjoyable but with this added taste of modern art, it was icing on the cake.

This work titled "The Crowd " is by the Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz. Excellent capture. V.

Is that what can happen if someone drinks too much wine? :-)

Yes this is really quite the piece of art~.....makes me think of the Doors song, People are Strange (I think that's the title).

I hope it is not a tribute to headless wine buyers!

Intriguing! Great textures.

Is this a political statement meant to reflect the GOP representation in the US Congress, or is it a satirical comment on the mental capacity of the anchors at FOX News? Gotta be one or the other. :o)

Quite an art piece for a private collection. Lucky for you to get this added bonus tour!
Nicely captured, Ray.
