Media: Copper, borosilicate glass, wine, LED panel, photograph

1/3 of triptych titled Pauillac (2015), price is for the entire triptych and pieces are not sold separately

Inspired by Château Lafite Rothschild in Bordeaux, France, Of Capital Decent is the first wine sculpture in the Pauillac collection. Hand-blown glass vessels filled with wine are backlit through a photograph and enclosed in a copper casing to aesthetically distill the experience of the Château and its wine. Through the use of iconic and historic monetary symbols stacked in abstract obelisk profiles, the sculpture visually suggests a conceptual bloodline connecting the monetary symbols within a common ancestry. The background image of today’s Chinese legal tender creates a juxtaposition between the currencies that have valued the Château in the past with those that are supporting it in the present.
