An American Icon at 100

Selected as one of 100 artists around the world who were commissioned to reimagine vintage Coca-Cola imagery using just three colors: red, black and white. The works were published in 'Kiss the Past Hello' - a coffee-table book celebrating the iconic bottle's 100th anniversary, which included historic pieces by Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg.

An exhibition at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta brought together the work of both past and present artists, showcasing the iconic bottle’s impact on 20th and 21st century visual culture. In addition, a selection of artworks were reproduced as textiles and sold exclusively at Colette Paris.
