Absinthe Originale, Homage to Jasper Johns

This advertising poster for Grande Absente captures the excitement of absinthe's American revival, released just as the legendary spirit became legal again in the United States. Artist Pacovsky creates a witty homage to Jasper Johns' iconic target paintings, placing the luminous green bottle at the center of concentric blue and yellow rings against a bold red ground. The upper register adds an element of mystery and desire: five faces pressed against glass, cropped to show only from nose to lips, suggesting eager anticipation. The composition brilliantly merges pop art vocabulary with the bohemian mystique that has always surrounded absinthe, connecting the Green Fairy to its artistic heritage while speaking a thoroughly contemporary visual language. A distinctive piece that bridges commercial advertising and fine art reference, this poster documents a specific moment in spirits history while delivering genuine visual impact. A standout piece for collectors of liquor advertising, pop art, or the absinthe revival. Size: 26.0" x 19.0" Artist: Pacovsky Condition: Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
