The ABSOLUT advertising campaign won many industry awards and was one of the most successful ever launched. Absolut Ruscha is one of the most iconic creations in Absolut Vodka's highly original and immensely influential advertising campaign; indeed, it is is sly and sinister in its simplicity: The artist has adapted his famous "Wolf" painting, altering it slightly as the shadow of the tilted Absolut bottle.
