He made bottles for 15-градусного sake NEXT5, released a special restored historic recipe. And this is not the only example of the work of artists with the design of alcohol

At the beginning of June, the Japanese company Kiki Kaikai, led by Takashi Murakami, welded sake Takashi Murakami×NEXT5. Exclusive limited edition of 5,000 bottles easier plus 450 vessels of unique design. Unique recipe 300-летней ago. And, of course, the authorship of the artist, which is included in the top most expensive living. The most expensive sculpture Murakami is $ 15 million. And a bottle of sake – from 2 000 to 107 000 (which we immediately translated from yen for convenience). The price depends on the design and a bit of the volume. The most expensive subscription is the bottle has a gold-plated wooden trunk – all as expected.

Murakami is not the first of the artists whose sketches used to make alcohol and even soda. Come immediately to mind Absolut vodka with the design of Andy Warhol, tequila 1800 Tequila with a design by Keith Haring. Their soda Lemon Fizz with design a few years ago launched the artist Richard Prince, . Russian artists of the first magnitude to the design of alcohol involved Kabakov. He made a very metaphorical label "Sky" for the wines of Chateau Mouton Rothschild. It is, incidentally, occurs in the auction market as the object of draw graphics. Of the fun and the recent you can still remember the fancy cans of beer "Zhiguli", decorated pin-ап stories of contemporary artist Valery Barykin. And beer is good, and pictures funny.
