The vodka brand’s Art Collection, a series of interpretations of the Absolut bottle, has been growing since the 80s and feature works by artists including Damien Hirst, Louise Bourgeois and Francesco Clemente.
The Absolut Art Collection has a portfolio of over 800 original collaborations, the first of which was commissioned from Warhol (above) in 1985.

The visitors can also enjoy the variety of arts in collaboration with Korean sound artist ZUUi, installation artist Byun Dae-Yong and video artist Sakayo at the exhibition.
