Ai Weiwei and Yayoi Kusama’s Sculptures Sit Amidst The Vines In A Californian Winery

The large-scale pieces in the sculpture collection are set amongst the striking landscape of the Sonoma Valley, where ancient olive trees, fields of lavender, and rows of grapevines that span hundreds of acres can be found. Amidst the rolling hills are notable pieces from famed artists, including: ‘Circle Of Animals’ by Ai Weiwei, a collection of sculpted bronze animal heads representing the traditional Chinese zodiac; Yayoi Kusama’s spotted ‘Pumpkin’ that sits perched on a square water feature, and Zhan Wang’s ‘Artificial Rock’, an enormous rock covered in welded sheets of stainless steel. “The sculpture collection at Donum expresses a sense of place and the important connection between art, nature and the human hand”, reads a statement from the estate. Donum Estate will soon offer weekly tours of the art collection by appointment.
