Lisa Ponti. Io sono un disegno

Published September 25, 2023

The monograph dedicated to Lisa Ponti (1922–2019), daughter of the famous architect and designer Gio Ponti, tells the story of a figure who remained unexplored at great length. Through a wide selection of drawings and writings, along with her conversations with artists, gallery owners and designers – published over the course of half a century in the magazines Domus and Stile – a personality constantly involved with the leading names of the Italian and international art scene is explored. For Ponti, drawing represents an intimate dimension, one in which to carve out a space for herself. Her writings, on the other hand, highlight a personal view of the world, tracing Lisa Ponti’s path throughout the history of twentieth-century culture.
