Art Calendar, 23 March 2023: Photographic artist Gaby Fey creates spectacular artworks with performers underwater. From Saturday, 1 April 2023, selected works by Gaby Fey will be presented in the wine press hall of the Wagner Winery in Essenheim near Mainz in the Rhineland Hesse region.

On display will be, among others, Gaby Fey's famous work "La Cène" - her staged underwater version of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper". The exhibition runs until 7 May 2023. For wine lovers, it should be extremely interesting that three works by Gaby Fey "Tornad'eau", "Danse d'Ouverture" and "Sacrifice" adorn a white wine, a rosé and a red wine as labels respectively. This edition, created by the Wagner Winery, whose roots go back to 1692, is limited to 500 bottles. 

Gaby Fey's main work "La Cène" is one of her historical "composings", for which she accurately recreated and then photographed world-famous paintings such as, among others, "The Raft of the Medusa" by Thédore Géricault and "Liberty Leads the People" by Eugène Delacroix in her pool in the South of France or in the Mediterranean. According to the artist, the production process of "La Cène" alone took almost a year. For example, a garment for each apostle actor was made by the haute couture tailor Helena Gubajdulin from Trier and then dyed.

The exhibition will take place at the Wagner Winery in the context of a wine tasting. The first 2022 white and rosé wines will be on tap, accompanied by culinary delights from the winery's kitchen.

The exhibition is initiated and organised by the gallery Geuer & Geuer Art from Düsseldorf.

Gaby Fey first worked in front of the camera - as an internationally sought-after model. Years of working as an advertising photographer followed. Later, she began underwater photography and exhibited in Germany, France, Monaco, Austria and Switzerland, or at the Sylt Art Fair since 2020.

In 2021, ntv art expert Wolfram Kons and his camera team portrayed the artist for the art documentary "Inside Art: Gaby Fey - im Bilderrausch des Meeres". You can find the documentary here: Click
