In partnership with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Absolut has unveiled an extraordinary limited-edition bottle. The bottle draws inspiration from the rediscovery of Warhol's iconic Absolut ‘blue’ painting. It features a multi-layered screen-printed aesthetic that combines internal and external elements.
A unique aspect of the release is that every shade of blue used in the design has been carefully extracted from Warhol’s original painting. These details add a personal touch, connecting the modern consumer directly with Warhol’s artistic world and his enduring influence on contemporary art and culture.
"Absolut Warhol isn’t just a beautiful bottle for our quality vodka, it’s a tribute to artistry and cutting-edge technology, qualities that Andy Warhol himself embodied. The packaging is about inviting our customers on a voyage of discovery and exploration accompanied by Absolut’s digital world. Every sip is an opportunity to delve into a captivating story," said Nancy Baghdadi, director, portfolio & innovation, Absolut Vodka.
