Weight: 9.5 lbs The stunning realism that John Pacovsky is able to bring to a canvas is often accented with humor, surrealism or a philosophical tone. Not surprising, from a man who has always considered himself “a philosopher who paints.” Attesting to his modern day mastery are accolades for his paintings at the core a long-running, award-winning Absolut vodka ad campaign, which was shown in New York’s Lincoln Center, earned him a mention in Forbes magazine, and is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian. This item is originally from the collection of liquor icon Michel Roux. One of Mr. Roux’s signature spirits at Crillon was absinthe, the anise-flavored spirit known for its popularity among 19th-century artists like van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. It was banned by the United States in 1912 amid concerns that wormwood, one of its ingredients, which contained thujone, caused hallucinations. In 2000, Mr. Roux introduced a legal absinthe, Absente, which used a sister botanical, Southern wormwood, with only trace amounts of thujone.
