Description
"As a leading figure in the neo-Dada movement and one of the fathers of Pop Art, Robert Rauschenberg produced a work of art with an item of daily use, “found” and picked from among the many things around us. Maps of cities across the world decorate cups and saucers of these World Cups like a collage and define globe-crossing itineraries. The idea of travel and of a connected world is condensed in a few, simple objects, but it invades your mind and triggers off other stimuli and other images as you gaze at them." - Illy, official website Collection of five coffee cups in collaboration with Illy.
