ILLY CAFFE 50th Biennale di Venezia International Art Expo Bar Cappuccino Cup by Francesco Bonami

Special Edition Vtg ILLY Cappuccino cups, collectible coffee cups, Italian Cappuccino cups Made in Italy.  Made especially for the 2003 50th ESPOSIZIONE INTERNAZIONAL D'ARTE LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA.

2003 was the year of the fiftieth edition of the Venice Biennale, the most prestigious international contemporary art exhibition, which illycaffè has been collaborating with for a number of years.

Its director that year was Francesco Bonami, an Italian art critic and curator residing in the United States. illycaffè commissioned him to design a special cup to commemorate the event.

The idea Bonami based his Biennale Cup on is in the title Dreams and Conflicts: the aesthetic dream of art and the conflicts of the reality we live in are not two impenetrable worlds, they border each other. The spectator crosses over the border, to gain another perspective—the artist’s vision—on the world around us.

The border crosses the cup, and are always visible, whichever way you turn them.
