Jeff Koons for Illy



I love art of all kinds - especially Pop Art and these mugs are adorable. A little bit about JK from the Illy website for those of you that aren't familiar with his work:

Jeff Koons is among the most controversial and intriguing artists to emerge in the past decade. Like Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol before him, he is concerned with the transformation of everyday objects into art, and takes such post-modern issues as high andlow culture, context and commodification of art as the central focus of his work. Banal or original, Jeff Koons has brought out the essential from Pop Art, one of the most notable avant-garde movements of the 20th century.

I adore illy cups! There is a new adorable pink and white set of espresso cups that I've been coveting.
