Fior di Tabasso. Le Stagioni al Florian

For her solo show at Caffè Florian, Lilla Tabasso has created glass compositions dedicated to the Room of Seasons painted by Cesare Rota around mid XIX century.

"Every day, as has been the case for decades, the bar counter at Caffè Florian is decorated with fresh flowers. Well, I would very much love to replace them with Lilla Tabasso’s hyperrealistic creations as an innocent joke at the expense of Florian’s patrons as they visit for their nightly spritz. We all know that the idea for the Venice Art Biennale was born here, and for this reason, since the 1980s we have been turning a public venue, our coffee house, into an art gallery."  (Stefano Stipitivich - Caffè Florian Art Director)
