description
Located on the Saint-Léger motorway (A10 near Pons), the work is 3m high and expresses the uncertainty of Cognac winegrowers: fortune is blind and the future uncertain. Changing weather conditions affect the abundance of the harvest (hence the representation of a cornucopia of grapes) and if sales are not good, the Cognac will have to be stored in barrels and wait for better days (the blindfolded lady is standing on a barrel of Cognac). Domaine de Brius.
