Part 1 of our tour of the Arts & Foods. Rituals since 1851 at the Palazzo di Triennale is here.

ARTS&FOODS CONTINUA

According to the Catalog, the show “… allows us to take a unique and unrepeatable journey through the artistic languages that have characterized the relationship between arts and foods since 1851 – the year of the first Expo, to the present day.”

This section of the exhibition was eye-catching for the pastel colors of the walls.

This is the 60’s – 70’s.

Probably one of the first things people will think of when ask about arts and foods – Andy Warhol’s soup cans

Mel Ramos – the lost painting of 1965, 2012

More food posters – all by Amando Testa – mostly from the 60’s

Coca-cola retail designs

Maison Bulle

We could not find description of the next few items in the Catalog.

This unit could have been in the house of M. and Mme. Arpel in the comedy Mon Oncle (1959 Academy Award winner) which chronicled a Monsieur Hulot’s struggle against postwar French modernism.

… yes, they are Panton chairs in this 70’s dining room set

Dress with steak, chicken feet and drumstick prints.

Moschino-branded McDonald’s matching set.

More photos in part 3 and part 4 to come.
