About the Item
Modern Living: Gio Ponti and the Twentieth-Century Aesthetics of Design
by Georgia Museum of Art and Perri Lee Roberts. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket exhibition catalog. 2017, University of Georgia, Georgia Museum of Art. In the history of 20th-century design, Giò Ponti (1891–1979) is widely recognized as the father of modern Italian design. Over the span of a remarkably prolific career of nearly 60 years, Ponti created important works of architecture (including the first skyscraper in Italy), furniture, decorative art and industrial products, using both traditional and modern materials and techniques. He participated in Italian and other international design exhibitions and served as editor of and frequent contributor to the magazines Domus and Stile. Through these venues, he promoted new concepts of modern living and improved public taste through examples of his own work and that of his contemporaries in Europe and the United States.
This exhibition presented more than 50 objects, representing some of Ponti’s most outstanding pieces of furniture and decorative objects from the beginning of his career in the 1920s through the 1950s, borrowed from American museums and private collections.
