Item Description
This large original drawing from 1952 highlights the creative brilliance of Gio Ponti, one of the most important figures in 20th-century design and architecture. Ponti’s hand is immediately recognizable in the elegant lines and refined composition, reflecting the same vision that shaped his iconic furniture, interiors, and architectural works. Though created for Touring Carrozzeria Milan, the drawing transcends its automotive context to stand as a work of art in its own right. It captures Ponti’s ability to merge functionality with poetry, precision with imagination — a hallmark of his multidisciplinary practice. Original works on paper by Ponti of this scale and date are exceptionally rare. More than a design document, this piece is a testament to Ponti’s role as a master artist-designer whose influence continues to define modern aesthetics. Provenance: Lisa Licitra Ponti, daughter of Gio Ponti
