When Andy Warhol went to write in his diary on March 8th, 1981, the pope of Pop Art and a leading figure of the New York underground art scene had just returned from Munich where he had had a show, and was recounting what the glorious sights he had seen. And while he had been to thousands of parties in his life (the wildest of which are well-documented in the late 1970s at New York’s Studio 54), it was neither the music nor fashion nor people that he recounted in his diary that night…
“Went to the gallery where they were having a little exhibition of the glittery Shoes, and had to do interviews and pics for the German newspaper and then we had to go back to the hotel and be picked up by the “2,000” people – it’s a club of twenty guys who got together and they’re going to buy 2,000 bottles of Dom Pérignon which they will put in a sealed room until the year 2,000 and then open it up and drink it and so the running joke is who will be around and who won’t…”
And so the entry continued: a nostalgic, if not endearing, ode to Dom Perignon and fine champagne and the night he wouldn’t soon forget.
Now, some 30 years later, Dom Perignon is hoping to re-capture some of that magic — as well as some of Warhol’s iconic work with culture, codes and color — through a limited-edition Warhol-inspired bottle. The creative team at Dom Pérignon commissioned the Design Laboratory at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art & Design to reinterpret its timeless bottle in homage to the artist’s iconic color games. The result is a unique collection of three bottles, each with its distinct label in bright red, blue or yellow. The bottles will be available to the public starting October 15th at a suggested retail price of $150 and can be found at fine wine purveyors nationwide.
