IMAGERY Art for Wine Bob Nugent, foreword by Donald Kuspit
In 1985 wine-maker Joe Benziger and Sonoma artist Bob Nugent struck on the idea of putting original art on special releases of Imagery Estate Wines. The goal was straight-forward; to commission the world’s modern art luminaries to create works for reproduction onto wine labels. Two decades and 160 labels later, they have assembled a staggering collection of
contemporary art from the likes of Sol Lewitt, Terry Winters, Nancy Graves, John Baldessari, Judy Pfaff and Bob Arneson. This book highlights 133 works of art, the best of the Imagery collection. The
images are big, lush, and accompanied by biographical sketches of the artists' careers, as well as short descriptions of their individual ideas and methods. The pictorial index shows the works in their label form, from 1985 to the most recent vintages. These images are evocations of wine's multi-faceted ability to inspire us. Hardcover, 11 x 11 inches, 308 pp, 133 full-color prints, artist biographies and statements, Gazetteer/Full-color label index. $70.00

"Subliminally, the label raises one's expectations of the wine: the uniqueness of the art anticipates the uniqueness of the wine...a rhetoric of display that enhances the value of what is already regarded as inherently valuable. Indeed, it is about the synergistic value-effect the convergence of things of intrinsic value – art and wine – can have." —Donald Kuspit, Wine And Art: The Grand Alliance
