Stars Come Out for ‘The Coca-Cola Bottle: An American Icon at 100’ Exhibition

Last week the stars were out in Atlanta celebrating Coke’s The Coca-Cola Bottle: An American Icon at 100 exhibition at the High Museum of Art.

The famed Coke bottle is 100 years young this year and The Coca-Cola Company is celebrating with a year-long campaign that includes new advertising, a music anthem and a series of art exhibits featuring works from some of the world’s leading contemporary artists including Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and Peter Blake.

The Coca-Cola Bottle: An American Icon at 100 is a four-part exhibit that will salute the Coca-Cola bottle and its special place in the worlds of art, design and commerce over the past 100 years. For the first time ever, two original Andy Warhol Coke Bottle paintings will be displayed alongside over 100 original bottle-inspired artworks and photographs. In addition to the amazing artwork, guests at last week’s event were treated to a performance from Pharrell’s protégé Francesco Yates, whose debut single “Nobody Like You,” will serve as the anthem for the anniversary.

Celebrities Kate Bosworth and Joe Manganiello joined the celebration, and Katie Bayne, new Coca-Cola Senior VP of Global Sparkling Brand Center addressed the gathered crowd. Kasim Reed, Mayor of Atlanta, was on-hand for the festivities as well!

You can take a look at some of the memorable moments from last week’s celebration below:
