FROM BLOOMBERG BUSINESS WEEK Absolut’s big break in the art world came after Roux became a regular at Andy Warhol’s wild Manhattan parties -- not a scene where you would have been likely to find execs from, say, General Electric or IBM. Eventually, Roux managed to convince Warhol to do an Absolut ad -- no mean feat, since Warhol didn’t drink alcohol and didn’t particularly want to be associated with a liquor company (he originally had intended to do an ad for a Swedish mineral water). Victor Forbes, a friend of Roux’s and editor of Fine Art magazine, says rather than drink Absolut, Warhol liked to dab it on his body as a kind of cologne. www.businessweek.com/stories/2001-12-03/absolut-michel-roux Compiled and Published by SunStorm Artsv Magazine October, 1993 Publisher - Jamie Ellin Forbes Editor-in-Chief - Victor Bennett Forbes layout & editorial ©1992 & 2018 SunStorm Arts Publishing Co., Inc., New York, USA info@fineartmagazine.com
