Unveiling Event: ICONS of ART Limited Edition Italian Mosaic Portraits Catalog
The Cornell Art Museum is proud to host a special reception celebrating the arrival of the official ICONS of ART: Italian Mosaic Portraits exhibition catalog—and offering guests the unique opportunity to meet Guglielmo Zanette, the visionary creator behind ICONS of ART.
Printed in Italy in a limited edition of just 1,000 copies, this exquisite 68-page hardcover catalog is a work of art in its own right. Adorned with 24-karat gold leaf detailing and an embossed ICONS of ART logo, it marks the first official publication of an exhibition by the Cornell Art Museum—a milestone that reflects the museum’s growing international presence and commitment to artistic excellence. The catalog is now available for purchase in the Cornell Art Museum Store for $40.00.
In response to extraordinary public enthusiasm and the generous support of our visitors and patrons, we are also proud to announce the extension of the internationally acclaimed ICONS of ART exhibition through October 27, 2025.
Featuring 40 stunning mosaic masterpieces from Italy, the exhibition has captivated audiences with its powerful fusion of ancient craftsmanship and contemporary vision. Presented in collaboration with Associazione Naonis (Italy), the exhibition showcases both celebrated mosaic masters and rising talents from the renowned Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli—a world-class institution dedicated to the art of mosaic.
The catalog is the product of a prestigious partnership between the Cornell Art Museum and Associazione Naonis, based in Pordenone, Italy—a city recently named the Italian Capital of Culture 2027. This recognition highlights the cultural bridge being forged between Delray Beach and Pordenone, with vital support from the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and the wider Palm Beach County cultural community.
Through ICONS of ART, the Cornell Art Museum reaffirms its role as a gateway to global creativity—celebrating tradition, innovation, and international dialogue through the enduring beauty of mosaic art.
