ABSOLUT WARHOL: THE OTHER HALF

Join us for an unmissable art experience at the iconic Saatchi Gallery from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th October, as Absolut Vodka and The Warhol Foundation come together for a special exhibition ABSOLUT WARHOL: THE OTHER HALF

This free-to-attend exhibition features the works of five diverse artists from various creative disciplines, who have been given the opportunity to showcase their work in the prestigious Saatchi Gallery.

Inspired by a newly discovered Andy Warhol painting featured on the 2024 Limited Edition Bottle: ABSOLUT WARHOL, each of the artists will present their interpretation of the bottom half of Warhol’s Absolut ‘blue’ painting. By doing so, the artists bring fresh perspectives and creativity to the forefront, seamlessly blending the past with the present.

This is not just an exhibition – it’s a celebration of creativity, diversity and the legacy of Andy Warhol’s art and Absolut’s commitment to supporting artistic talent.

RSVP now to secure your spot and be part of this celebration of creative talent and Warhol’s enduring influence.

Our Absolut Warhol Limited Edition Bottle

Absolut Vodka has a long history of collaborating with artists, and over 800 artworks have been created over the years based on the unique Absolut bottle silhouette. The first and most iconic was Andy Warhol, with his original artwork Absolut Warhol. For 35 years, another painting attributed to Warhol from 1985 was overlooked. Until, by a stroke of luck, the work unexpectedly resurfaced in 2020.

We’re now bringing the recovered artwork back to the public’s eye with an ABSOLUT WARHOL limited-edition artistic bottle design revealing elements of the painting from every angle—celebrating the legacy of collaboration between two historical icons – mixing the past into the present.

The bottle’s design elements feature a unique and immersive design with artistic blue brushstrokes that bring Warhol’s iconic painting to life, magnified by the Absolut Vodka liquid. In true Warhol fashion, every colour is extracted directly from the original painting and made with multi-layer screen printing to create a hand-painted feeling to the touch. The bottle also has a QR code screen-printed on the back, opening a portal into the world of Warhol and the story behind the collaboration — if you want to know more head over to our Warhol page here.
