Comparing a quality spirit to a work of art has just taken on a new meaning.
Hennessy, the best-selling and most notable brand of cognac, has just introduced the Hennessy Very Special Collector’s Edition by urban artist Vhils. The limited release includes 100 individual pieces hand-signed and designed by the renowned Portuguese artist, using his signature “making the invisible visible” sculptural technique.
The unveiling of Hennessy’s limited collector’s edition was a star-studded event featuring Hip-Hop artist Nas, DJ TJ Mizell, designer Joe Freshgoods, and model Chanel Iman just to name a few. The event took place during Miami’s 2018 art festival, where Vhils’ unique art is on display inside the Goldman Global Arts (GGA) gallery.
Hennessy and Vhils embarked on a multifaceted artistic collaboration earlier this year that includes a global tour and Vhils’ first solo show, “Ethereal” inside The Wynwood Walls. His solo debut includes a façade takeover of GGA and 28 original works.
The Hennessy Very Special Collector’s Edition by Vhils is available for purchase (750 ml, suggested retail price, $1,000) via Clos19, LVMH’s e-commerce site dedicated to the ‘Art of Hosting.’ Reinforcing Hennessy’s commitment to the arts, a portion of the bottle proceeds will benefit Pratt Institute’s graduate program.
