William Kentridge
This spectacular limited edition illy art collection was designed by South African artist William Kentridge for illy’s 75th anniversary. Available in signed and numbered espresso and cappuccino versions, the silver-mirrored cups playfully reflect the designs on the saucers, transforming them into delightful anamorphic works of art. Each collection is elegantly presented in a beautiful gift-box with a William Kentridge illy art collection brochure.

The Designer
South African artist William Kentridge’s career spans film, drawing and theater, frequently blending elements of each into integrated works of art. He is perhaps best known for his non-traditional animation technique using charcoal drawings on a single piece of paper to create works of extraordinary depth, often with political and social themes. His art has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, MOMA the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and many museums and galleries world-wide. He is currently working on Shostakovich’s The Nose, to premier at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 2010.
