Absolut vodka has made its iconic bottle a blank canvas for
global artists. The initiative-called Absolut Blank-asks 20 artists from a
variety of creative disciplines to express themselves on a canvas in the shape
of an Absolut bottle, continuing what the brand says is a history of artist
collaborations that began with Andy Warhol in 1985. The completed works will be
the subject of an integrated campaign, including print ads, videos and
installations in public spaces. The campaign debuted in the UK on July 13th and
is rolling out in various global markets.
