Wine auction’s artist confirmed
O
rganisers of New Zealand’s oldest and most prestigious wine auction have secured the talents of famous international designer David Trubridge as the Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction event artist for 2018. The art work will be displayed at the Wildflower Sculpture Exhibition event for the five days leading up to this year’s Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction on Saturday 10th November. Trubridge is well known for his amazing lights, but he is also an internationally recognised designer for stand-alone sculpture and art pieces large and small. “My art piece currently has a working title ‘The Network of Life’ and is an evolving design I have in my mind,” Trubridge says. “I will work on the design and creation over the coming months and look forward to sharing the piece in its completion later in the year.” Forty-two of Hawke’s Bay’s talented winegrowers have committed their skills to producing yet again, some outstanding, unique blends, for the Auction. Elisha Milmine, Hawke’s Bays Wine Auction Event Manager says; “the winegrowing community has had another bumper wine harvest and we are looking forward to some really exceptional wines on offer in November.” Event tickets will go on sale July 2 and absentee bidding is also available.
