illycaffè celebrates 30 years of the illy Art Collection with some of the most iconic artists of the 21st century at Venice Biennale 2022
Inspired by the Royal Gardens, the installation of the illy Art Collection evokes a garden in which the cups represent flowers and where the industrial architectural decoration blends with nature. The cups have been displayed in chronological order decorating a fluid structure, with plants peeking out underneath.
Searching for what is beautiful and new, then bringing it out and showcasing it is the main reason as to why illycaffè continues to support La Biennale and has done since 2003. To celebrate the 30 Anniversary of the cup collection this year, illycaffè will introduce the new illy Art Collection at Biennale, designed by 6 artists selected by curator Cecilia Alemani from those exhibiting their works at La Biennale Arte 2022: Felipe Baeza, Giulia Cenci , Precious Okoyomon, Alexandra Pirici, Aki Sasamoto , and Cecilia Vicuña.
Over the course of La Biennale Arte 2022, the exhibition will be the backdrop to a series of conversations among the protagonists of contemporary art in which artists, curators and patrons will meet to talk about current themes.
" – explains illycaffè CEO Cristina Scocchia – ".
Visitors to the 59 International Art Exhibition will be able to enjoy the illy blend in all bars and restaurants at the exhibition venues. During the exhibition, the refreshment stands located in the Giardini della Biennale and the Arsenale will feature illy espresso and illy cold brew and Ready to Drink coffee available from illy's cargo bikes.
