THE CUP EXHIBITION

Rhine Gallery

We believe every cup of coffee deserves to be treated with care. That care belongs not only in the beans, extraction and temperature, but also on the cup in your hand. Each cup is paired with a work from the current Rhine Gallery selection, so even the same coffee may leave with a different view. It gives your own cup more character and makes coffee for a friend feel like a small gift chosen with care.

ONE FULL-SIZE EDITION

When a work stays with you,collect the full piece

Each artwork is offered as a single full-size physical edition. Once collected, it is marked as privately held: no new physical editions are produced, and the image leaves future cup-sticker rotations.

How collecting works

FROM ARCHIVE TO CUP

How an artwork reaches the cup

  1. 01

    New work enters the collection

    The work is not limited to coffee and is never tied to a particular drink. A city, shoreline, summer afternoon, dream or odd thought may become the next piece.

  2. 02

    Rhine curates the current rotation

    Rhine arranges each rotation by season, visual balance and the available collection, allowing photography, print, painting and collage to take turns on the cup.

  3. 03

    Prepared for print and the cup

    Each work is checked again for composition, color and detail at sticker size, then given an artwork ID so the small print retains clarity and texture.

  4. 04

    The artwork travels with coffee

    At service, the cup is paired with a work from the current rotation. Its story remains online after the coffee is gone. Cup art depends on current curation and production availability; the artwork received may vary.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT

The artwork has an ID; your order is not on display

The gallery keeps only the artwork ID, date, style, medium and creative note. It does not publicly connect a work with a particular customer, drink or order.

THE CUP EXHIBITION

Today, your cup brings you an artwork

Every cup deserves to be treated with care—from extraction and temperature to the artwork on the cup. For yourself, it gives an everyday coffee more character; for a friend, it feels like a small gift chosen beyond the drink itself. Artwork follows the current rotation and production availability, so the piece received may vary.
