The tasting room at the Georg Breuer estate. It is an exhibition space with wine in it: fair-faced concrete, a monolithic counter, art on white walls under spotlights, a canted timber rack holding the bottles and a tasting table with turquoise chairs. Shot in the light the room has, because that light is the concept. An estate that builds its shop like a gallery wants to be photographed like one — with space left around the things.
The sales room is a gallery. Four works in different formats hang on a white partition, the name GEORG BREUER in green lettering on the wall to the right; a long counter in gray-stained oak runs across the whole picture, with half a dozen bottles on it, a decanter, a dark vase and a bunch of dried branches.
The ceiling is fair-faced concrete with a black track, and the spots are aimed at the wall rather than at the pictures — you can see their cones as soft half-circles. Those are the problem and the solution at once: they give the white surface a modelling it would not otherwise have, and the viewpoint has to be chosen so they do not collide with the frames.
