Only 1000 cups copies were made of this single cup produced for the "Marino Marini Place Vendome" show in Paris.
Horses and horse riders are signature theme in the sculptor's work, a truly symbolic sign where, as he loved to say, 'There's the whole history of humanity", made up of symbiosisand harmony, but also of sudden rifts and rebellisions.
In the drawing reproduced on this cup, a man and woman are trying to control a horse, which has always been symbol of human passions and the unconscious.
