Greg Gorman, American b. 1949- Papillon; digital print on board, signed by winemaker Dave Phinney, created for Orin Swift Cellars, image: 57.5 x 80 cm, (framed) Note: This photograph was taken for, and is used on the bottles of a 2020 Bordeaux blend of Dave Phinney’s Orin Swift wine. Phinney’s Papillon label is inspired by contradictions. While walking through a vineyard with his three-year-old daughter on his shoulders and thinking about what to call his next wine, a butterfly flew by and his daughter exclaimed, “Look, a papillon!” Phinney was flummoxed as to where she had picked up the French word for butterfly.It was on his mind to create a label featuring tattoos on someone’s knuckles. “Papillon has eight letters so the idea clicked. I love the juxtaposition of this beautiful French word on these really gritty hands,” says Phinney, who used one of his grape growers as a hand model.“He’s the nicest guy and a third generation old school farmer, which is exactly the look I wanted,” says Phinney, who asked his friend Greg Gorman to photograph the label in black-and-white.Please refer to department for condition report
