An immersive experience of the kaleidoscopic universe of Italian visionary Gio Ponti (1891-1979), Taschen's 'Gio Ponti' is the most comprehensive account of the creative's work to date. Widely considered one of the greatest architects, designers and art directors of the 20th century, Ponti’s achievements are paid tribute across a series of images and texts, including words by Lisa Licitra Ponti — an artist, poet and Ponti's daughter — and an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani. With input from the Gio Ponti Archives and its founder Salvatore Licitra, this 572-page hardback offers an intimate insight into Ponti's life’s work and core philosophy of modernity.
