\n\tEvian water, filtered through glacial rocks in the town \u00c9vian-les-Bain in the French Alps, was discovered in 1789, and 37 years later, in 1826, it was first bottled by the King of Piedmont-Sardinia.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ubiquitous and bougie water brand is now celebrating its 200th anniversary by collaborating with a cohort of athletes (tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz, Emma Raducanu, and Francis Tiafoe, and golfer C\u00e9line Boutier) and the artist Jeff Koons.<\/p>\n

\n\tKoons\u2019s limited-edition clear glass bottles are for both still and sparkling water. The still bottle has a pink top and an image of one of the artist\u2019s iconic, stainless-steel pink balloon dog; the sparkling one features the same design but in blue. Both are wrapped in a silver ribbon.<\/p>\n

\n\tKoons\u2019s 12-foot-tall balloon dog sculptures are perhaps his most recognizable artworks. They first appeared in the mid-1990s, as part of the artist\u2019s now-notorious \u201cCelebration\u201d series. Many versions of these exist, in a variety of colors (pink and blue, like on the Evian bottles, plus yellow, orange, and red). In 2013, an orange version sold for $58.4 million at Christie\u2019s, at the time a record for the most expensive work by a living artist.<\/p>\n

\n\tEvian has collaborated with cultural figures since 2007, mostly fashion designers like Christian Lacroix, Diane von Furstenberg, Alexander Wang, and Balmain. In 2019, Virgil Abloh designed an Evian bottle; mostly known in the fashion world, his show \u201cFigures of Speech\u201d opened at the MCA Chicago in the summer of 2019 before a long tour. Koons appears to be the the first visual artist to partner with the brand.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI chose to incorporate my iconic\u00a0Balloon Dog\u00a0in the design because it not only resonates with the brand\u2019s own iconic status,\u201d Koons said in a statement, \u201cbut is also directly related to this celebratory, optimistic\u2014and I believe life-giving\u2014moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
