Scarpetta Wine Label

04Jun08

The word is out that a second edition of the fabulous Scarpetta Wine is soon to arrive here from Italy. Originally I had been approached by Dennis Scholl, prominent Miami art collector and mega-aficionado of Olafur Eliasson works to lend one of my existing illustrations to a wine label for Betts & Scholl wine importers. It is their tradition to commission contemporary artists with an edge to create special art labels for each vintage….And obviously they like to push the envelope a little. Last year’s release has sold out.
