«IT'S CALLED GOSSIP AND OF COURSE IT'S AN OBSESSION OF MINE»

The Saatchi Gallery and ABSOLUT have announced a new initiative as part of this year’s New Sensations Prize. ABSOLUT has had a long association with artists, including Andy Warhol and Louise Bourgeois to Keith Haring and Damien Hirst, who have created works in response to the distinctive shape of the ABSOLUT bottle.
ABSOLUT Blank is the most recent incarnation of this heritage challenging artists to fill the bottle with their creativity, continuing the brand's association with artists and talent. ABSOLUT has invited three artists shortlisted for New Sensations to make a new work, inspired by the ABSOLUT bottle as a starting point. These new works by Jin Han Lee, Antonio Marguet and Natasha Peel will be on display at the exhibition.

“ABSOLUT’s arts heritage spans over 30 years and today the Absolut Art Collection comprises more than 800 pieces by some of the worlds greatest artists. We’re delighted to be growing this legacy by be partnering with New Sensations on an initiative that gives us the opportunity to support and collaborate with emerging talent in the art world.” -Adam Boita, Marketing Manager, Pernod Ricard UK
