Ever since it was first bottled 30 years ago, ABSOLUT VODKA has been
driven by creativity. The collaboration with the arts started with Andy
Warhol painting the first art ad for ABSOLUT. Today, the Absolut Art
Collection comprises more than 800 pieces by artists such as Keith Haring,
Damien Hirst and Louise Bourgeois. For the first time ever, the entire
collection is now gathered in Sweden where it will get its permanent home
at the new Historical Museum of Wine and Spirits.
This year, in the tradition of the company’s 30 years of creative collaborations,
ABSOLUT VODKA also decided to fund a yearly art award. As head of the Absolut Art
Award jury, Daniel Birnbaum will award the first-ever winner in a ceremony in
Stockholm on October 30, 2009.
