Last week I was invited to go to The Coca-Cola Bottle: An American Icon at 100 Media Preview the other day. My opinions are my own though.
Here is the description of the exhibition from the High Museum of Art’s website, Presented on the occasion of the Coca-Cola bottle's centennial, this exhibition brings together work by renowned artists, designers, and photographers, showcasing the iconic Coca-Cola bottle's outstanding impact on 20th and 21st century visual culture.
The Coca-Cola Bottle: An American Icon at 100 explores the iconic design and creative legacy of the Coca-Cola bottle. Presented on the occasion of the bottle's centennial, the exhibition features more than 100 objects, including more than 15 works of art by Andy Warhol and more than 40 photographs inspired by or featuring the bottle. Visitors will have the opportunity to view original design illustrations, historical artifacts and a century of experimentation with the Coca-Cola bottle, which has enticed multiple generations and billions of people worldwide and inspired numerous artists since its inception in 1915. Photographers such as Walker Evans and William Christenberry documented the Coca-Cola bottle's universal presence in the cultural landscape of 20th century America. The Coca-Cola bottle also helped spur Warhol's pioneering shift to his breakthrough pop art style.
Organized by the High in collaboration with The Coca-Cola Company, the exhibition will be presented in two floors of the High's Anne Cox Chambers wing. As visitors enter the exhibition gallery in the first-floor lobby, they will encounter more than 500 contemporary 3-D printed bottles suspended from the ceiling that reference the Coca-Cola bottle's iconic design. The second floor displays will feature three main areas: a section focused on the design history of the bottle, a pop art section with more than 15 works by Warhol, and a photography section including works from the High's permanent collection.
The 3-d Printed bottles were just neat. I wanted so badly to touch it.
Upstairs after you get off the elevator, you are surrounded by the evolution of the Coca-Cola bottle. It was so interesting to see the progression. My favorite was the web bottle.
In the next room was the where the Warhol’s were located. I had never seen a Warhol live before, so I was very excited. Be sure to look at the description of this portrait of Diet Coke. It was um interesting to see how Warhol created it.
My favorite room by far was the photography section of Coca- Cola in US history. There was so many poignant photographs.
