Description
"Contemporary artist Nam June Paik, famous for his video sculptures, here uses the white porcelain of the illy cup like a tiny television screen, creating electromagnetic waves and graphic flickers that are visible only by rotating the cup in one’s hand. At one point the face of composer and friend John Cage pops out of the continuous frieze of colors of Paik’s Videograms." - Illy, official website
Series of six coffee cups made for Illy Art Collection in 1996. Each cup is numbered.
