Beyong the Pour: Pairing Art and Wine Label Design

BEYOND THE POUR: Pairing Art and Wine Label Design

October 21, 2005 to January 29, 2006

San Francisco Museum of Craft and Design

If wine is a delight to the nose and palate, it is our eyes that are rewarded in the art of label design. For a label is like an invitation: a beckoning—offering visual clues to the personality of the wine even before the bottle is corked. For this unique exhibition, Bob Nugent, independent curator and curator for Imagery Winery, has chosen six Bay Area designers and eight artists for whom the art of labelmaking is celebrated.
