Description
5. † Ornellaia, La 'Vitalità', 1 Imperial N°7/10, Made & Signed by Marina Abramović, 2023 (1 x 6 liter)
Ornellaia, La 'Vitalità', 6 x 750ml Standard Case, Made & Signed by Marina Abramović, 2023 (6 x 750ml)
The Imperial n° 7/10 of Ornellaia 2023 'La Vitalità' Vendemmia d'Artista was conceived by Marina Abramović. This bottle is numbered and signed by the artist, who has interpreted the idea of vitality in a project centered on the theme of self, intended as an act of awareness and determination in capturing her own image.
The vital energy evoked in the drawings of the 750ml and 3L formats reaches its full embodiment in a series of ten unique Imperial bottles. In a progression of images, like a cinematic sequence, Marina Abramović's face is gradually covered by grapes, culminating in the final frame where only her eye remains visible.
Her gaze captures the viewer, transforming the self-portrait into an intense visual experience.
This lot also includes a sealed wooden case of 6 x 750ml Ornellaia 2023. In this case, one bottle out of six bears a drawing made by the artist. With its essential and measured lines, the drawing portrays Marina Abramović as a contemporary Medusa: her hair, replaced by vine branches bearing grapes, transforms the myth into a symbol of abundance and vital force.
Ornellaia will be delighted to host the winning bidder for a private visit to the estate, for two guests. The date of the visit will be mutually agreed between the buyer and Ornellaia.
The estate will be happy to host the bidder until the end of December 2027, excluding holiday periods.
