Fine wine art to be auctioned for charity

Christian Furr’s depiction (left) of Ribera del Duero estate Vega Sicilia will be auctioned alongside a bottle of the wine itself to raise money for The Grape Foundation, a charity that supports children throughout the winemaking world.

The work marks the first in a series of four pieces, including one painting that will feature all members of the Primum Familiae Vini – Marchesi Antinori, Joseph Drouhin, Egon Müller Scharzhof, Hugel & Fils, Torres, Mouton Rothschild, Famille Perrin, Vega Sicilia, Tenuta San Guido, Symington Family Estates and Pol Roger – alongside Domaine de la Romanée Conti and a large format bottle of Harlan Estate.

London-based Furr recently joined The Grape Foundation as its art ambassador. For more information about the auction and work of The Grape Foundation click here.
