Reflections: The Art of Bernie Taupin

Napa Valley-based Cliff Lede Vineyards, recognized for its high-quality Bordeaux blends, is also known for its vibrant art collection. Highlights include a permanent collection installation of museum-quality sculptures, as well as rotating artwork from some of the most iconic personalities in the world of music. The winery is honored to host the Northern California premiere of paintings by Bernie Taupin, lifelong visual artist and world-renowned song writer.

“Reflections: The Art of Bernie Taupin” features a collection of original works and hand-signed limited editions of only 50 prints created as a tribute to his partnership of 50 years with Elton John. Its subject matter is inspired by hit songs the two created together. The exhibit is open now through the end of June 2019. All works are available for purchase.

The exhibit debuts in Napa as Elton John performs his final world tour, “Farewell Yellow Brick Road.” The buzzworthy biographical film on the life of Elton John, “Rocketman,” is scheduled to be released in May.

“How do I feel about our biggest hits? How do I interpret them as I reflect upon the last 50 years of my professional life? How would I translate them…visually? I spend most of my free time creating visual art now, so I decided to create a body of work in honor of my other body of work, just this once,” says Bernie Taupin.
