In memory of Robert Wilson

illycaffè and Barcolana received with deep sorrow the news of the passing of Robert Wilson, an artist of extraordinary talent, with whom they had the honor of collaborating on the creation of the official poster and the illy Art Collection dedicated to the upcoming edition of Barcolana.

Out of respect during this time of mourning, illycaffè and Barcolana have decided to postpone the official presentation of the poster for the 57th edition of Barcolana, which was originally scheduled for this week, to a more appropriate and less painful moment. This decision reflects their desire to keep Robert Wilson’s vision and work alive.

The entire illycaffè team and the Barcolana organization extend their heartfelt sympathy and respect to his family, friends, the cultural world—which has lost one of its most remarkable figures—and to all who held him dear during this time of great sadness.

Thank you, Bob, for sharing your art with us.
