Created by internationally renowed musician and artist David Byrne on the occasion of the artist's 1998 solo exhibition at the Museo Revoltella in Trieste that was sponsored by illy, the "silver Cup" was produced as a limited edition.

A very special addition for an illy collector. --- Scottish-born David Byrne was raised in Baltimore where he briefly attended the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 1971 after transferring from the Rhode Island school of Design (RISD) in Providence. Byrne studied photography, performance, and video production at MICA. In 1975 Byrne co-founded the group Talking Heads, who in the 80s introduced an innovative visual approach to their performances. Byrne has been involved with photography, drawing, installations, performance and design since college and has been publishing and exhibiting his work since the 1990s. Like his music, Byrnes visual work has the capacity to elevate and transform ordinary elements into iconic ones and challenges our fundamental notions of what can be classified as art.
