William Kentridge designs limited wine bottles for Ornellaia charity auction at V&A Museum

Sotheby's will host an auction for a special collection of 111 wine bottles designed by William Kentridge at a gala held at London's V&A Museum, with all proceeds supporting the institution. This event is part of the 10th edition of Ornellaia Vendemmia d'Artista, which began in 2009 by the Ornellaia wine estate in Tuscany, encouraging artists to create labels that reflect the essence of each harvest. Kentridge's designs, crafted on pages from vintage Italian cash books discovered in flea markets, illustrate the meticulous winemaking process, especially grape harvesting. Through annual charity auctions, the initiative has generated over 2 million euros for museums and foundations worldwide, featuring contributions from artists such as Ernesto Neto, Rebecca Horn, and Yutaka Sone.
