Napa Valley: Art and Wine - The Hess Collection
Art Privee
If you are looking for art in the Napa Valley, the first stop must be the Hess Collection. Housed in the Hess winery, this world class private collection is a "must see" art-wise experience.
The collection is curated with many works of internationally-known heavyweight artists such as Georg Baselitz, Francis Bacon, Robert Motherwell, Frank Stella, Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter and many more.
An iPod guide, which is given to all guests upon entering the winery, is extremely helpful, explaining in depth about each artist and the works on view. I cannot vouch for the wine, but the art in this collection is first rate.
