Absolut Vodka launches limited-edition KAWS artist collaboration

Absolut Vodka has unveiled a limited-edition collaboration with contemporary artist KAWS, also known as Brian Donnelly. The ABSOLUT KAWS Artist Edition features the artist’s signature ‘XX’ motif and his CHUM character on the front of the brand’s apothecary-shaped bottle. The back of the bottle displays an original painting commissioned by Absolut specifically for this project.

The release continues a tradition of artist collaborations for Absolut that began in 1985 with Andy Warhol. Since then, more than 550 artists have contributed to the brand’s art program. The KAWS edition is available for pre-order and will roll out to select U.S. retailers for a limited time while supplies last.
