Meaning & Analysis

Absolut Vodka was commissioned by Absolute Vodka as part of their advertising campaign in the 1980s. Warhol was the first artist to be commissioned to create an artwork for the brand and it was a tremendous success that brought the Swedish vodka brand significant publicity.

Warhol’s artwork was so successful that Michael Roux, owner of Absolut, asked Warhol to suggest other artists that could be used in an advertising campaign for the spirit. Since Warhol, over three hundred and fifty artists have been commissioned to produce images of the vodka, including Keith Haring and Ed Ruscha. Absolut Vodka reflects Warhol’s love for consumer culture and desire to turn everyday consumer goods into works of fine art.

  • Andy Warhol was a leading figure of the Pop Art movement and is often considered the father of Pop Art. Born in 1928, Warhol allowed cultural references of the 20th century to drive his work. From the depiction of glamorous public figures, such as Marilyn Monroe, to the everyday Campbell’s Soup Can, the artist challenged what was considered art by blurring the boundaries between high art and mass consumerism. Warhol's preferred screen printing technique further reiterated his obsession with mass culture, enabling art to be seen as somewhat of a commodity through the reproduced images in multiple colour ways.
