This original signed vintage lithograph by Armand Arman is one of the many posters for Absolut Vodka's advertising campaign done by famous artists. Beginning with Andy Warhol in the 1980s, Absolut Vodka hired well-known artists to magnify the brand’s identity. This print is from Arman’s first original sculpture where he attached 98 Absolut gift boxes and paintbrushes to a piece of wood to form the shape of the bottle.

Arman (November 17, 1928 – October 22, 2005) was a French-born American artist. Born Armand Fernandez in Nice, France, Arman was a painter who moved from using objects for the ink or paint traces they leave (cachets, allures d'objet) to using them as the artworks themselves. He is best known for his Accumulations and destruction/recomposition of objects. The artist was commissioned by Abslout Vodka and the print was released in 1989.

This print was part of Michel Roux's estate. He was the liquor icon, who along with ad agency TBWAWorldwide, started Absolut Vodka's iconic print campaign which pioneered the concept of commissioning artists to create legendary advertisements. Starting with the artist Andy Warhol for the famous ABSOLUT WARHOL ad, and continuing on with major artists such as Keith Haring, Annie Leibowitz, Britto, and countless others, Absolut's ad campaign completely redefined the world of vodka. In particular, it reintroduced the once-obscure liquor brand Absolut into the spotlight of bars throughout America.
