The Art Marketer

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE: Wine Tasting & Art Exhibit

 

 

A road trip to Rockville, Maryland reunited me with my artist friend and client, Susan Levin.

 

On a recent flight back from Europe, Levin had the unique opportunity of meeting and befriending, Annette Schiller, a principal with Ombiasy Public Relations and Wine Tours.

 

 

 

Susan put me in touch with Annette,

who had the brilliant idea of creating a

‘Wine Tasting & Art Exhibit’

showcasing Susan’s work in collaboration with a wine tasting event.

 

 

 

 

The ‘invitation only’ event took place in the privacy of Levin’s lovely home, studio and gallery space. Guests were asked to bring a bottle of Pinot (Gris or Noir). The stage was set for a perfect marriage of wine tasting, hors d’oeuvres and art in an elegant gallery setting overlooking the beautiful setting of Rockville, Maryland.

 

 

 

The event brought together wine lovers and art aficionados from all three of our guest lists, facilitating new friendships, collaborations and ideas for other upcoming events.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

Bravo!

ART BY SUSAN LEVIN
As a painter and digital photographer, Susan Levin works hard to create pieces that evoke emotion and conversation. While her paintings and photographs are an expression of her moods, they are also an abstract interpretation of real life experiences. Levin interprets her dreams and often paints what she dreams. She embellishes her photos with the use of the computer.

Creating new work is a form of playing and designing what is often clearly before her eyes and sometimes what is simply perceived through the lens. It is that combination of being acutely aware and having the ability to clarify what is right before her that makes Levin passionate about art and love what she does.

Harry Freedman & The Ultimate Tribute Video

 

 My brother, Harry Freedman, recently  launched a brilliant  new Company entitled,  The Ultimate Tribute Video  http://theultimatetributevideo.com/.  

No stranger to the Entertainment Industry,  Harry has channeled his research, comedic,  MC, roasting, toasting, reporting, film-making,  screenwriting and storytelling skills into a  business making each of his clients the star of their own show for any special event they may have upcoming.

 

The idea is especially effective for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Sweet 16's, weddings, Corporate and/or retirement parties, milestone birthdays, anniversaries; but it could equally be applied to artist events, book signings, new business or product launches, fundraisers, honorary dinners, roasts or any other celebration where a little ingenious comic relief may be incorporated to educate, entertain and enlighten your party with an element of fun and surprise honoring the star of the event.

Harry takes the time to get to know each of his subjects, interviewing their families and colleagues, adding his own humorous take on their stories and finding the appropriate sound effects and music to create a personal, heart-warming and funny video celebrating their life, their loved ones and their special event, thereby preserving the moment in time in a film that your guests will enjoy during the event and for years to come. My words alone can't describe his talent in creating this. 

 

Take a look at the following clip and judge for yourself:

BURGUNDY - A CELEBRATION OF LIFE by Guy Buffet

BURGUNDY - A Celebration of Life by Guy Buffet

is a Special Limited Edition Print that Celebrates The Wine Harvest in a way few other images quite capture! 

In Vino Veritas — In Wine the Truth 

Buffet's classic image depicts the grandeur of the Burgundy wine region in France. Fine wines of the Burgundy region are always enjoyed and celebrated at harvest time with a Bacchic feast set in the French countryside; this is the tradition of the true French bon vivant. Every level of viticulture is appreciated and celebrated in bringing the final product to fruition.

According to the Napoleonic Code, upon the death of a parent the children inherit the land and equally divide it, and so you may find many different proprietors of the same vineyard, each tending to their own specific rows.

Artist Guy Buffet captures the magnificence of the terrain and the vibrant French culture in this image. This truly classic Burgundy lithograph is a breathtaking celebration of life, family, community and friendship.

The image has found a home with some of the world's most famous chefs, sommeliers, and restaurants, as well as the top wine cellars of the world. The edition has been exclusively distributed through the Spanek family's travels and friendships over the years since 1992.

 

Image size: 24 inches by 31 inches, unframed
Lithograph Edition of 350 -- signed and numbered.
Includes Certificate of Authenticity.

 

There are only a few pieces left in this Limited Edition. The Series will not be reprinted!

As part of a recent promotion with special pricing in a Wine Cellar Distribution, these pieces were offered in a grouping at the low price of $1200.00. 

 By special arrangement with the Spanek family, the original producers, owners and exclusive distributors of the series, and for a limited time only, The Art Marketer is able to offer the few remaining pieces within this series at this very special promotional price of $1200.00 per piece (unframed). 

This is the lowest price these prints have ever been offered, and again, it is only by special arrangement with the Spanek Family that The Art Marketer is able to make this offer.  The offer is not available elsewhere and it will not last! This price is less than half of the price you will find this print offered through Art Galleries or elsewhere.

Once sold out, the series will not be repeated, and the value of each piece will multiply.

Each piece is signed and numbered by the artist and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

About the Artist

Guy Buffet's work is well-known in both advertising and fine-art contexts. His portraits of waiters (for example, "Les Garçons" and "The Charge of the Flower Bottle Brigade") and restaurant staff are famous, as are his impressionist scenes of his native Paris and his adopted homes of Hawaii and California. He is regarded as one of the living masters of French contemporary impressionism. Guy Buffet shares wall space with Toulouse Lautrec at the Perrier-Jouet Museum in Paris and has been their official artist as well.

Showing unique fascination for color, Buffet's canvas seems to know no boundaries. He takes the casual observer into his work both visually and emotionally. His intention is to create a stopover point where an individual can rediscover the beauty and gaiety which life has to offer.

I take you into my world like a guest into my home. I want you to be comfortable, relaxed, happy; to forget about problems and sorrows.  - Guy Buffet
