What does movement taste like?

For decades, sculptor Joel Shapiro quietly assembled one of the most visionary wine collections of our time — long before Burgundy became the epicenter of the global market. From rare Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche preserved in full banded cases to benchmark Bordeaux, Italy, and Napa Valley, this collection reflects the same tension, balance, and emotional charge found in his sculpture.

There’s a certain point where fruit, tannin, structure, and restraint align — that fleeting moment collectors chase. Shapiro seemed to recognize it instinctively, acquiring producers years before they became market darlings. What emerges is not just a cellar of extraordinary bottles, but a portrait of taste, timing, and intuition. A kinetic collection in every sense.

Sotheby’s is honored to present Kinetic | The Wine Cellar of Joel Shapiro, a live auction of the personal wine collection of Joel Shapiro, one of America’s most celebrated contemporary artists. The auction will take place on 6 March at 12:00 PM EST at the landmark Breuer building.
