Works on display

Thirty-seven works from the Ponti collection of the Museo Ginori are featured in the exhibition “Gio Ponti. Ceramics 1922-1967", organized by the MIC - Museo Internazionale della Ceramica in Faenza in collaboration with Fondazione Ginori and open to the public from March 17 to October 13, 2024.

The exhibition curated by Stefania Cretella is divided into fourteen sections conceived as as many narratives that bear witness to the extraordinary richness and surprising variety of Ponti’s ceramic production and to the unmistakable vision of design and high artistic craftsmanship expressed from the very beginning of his collaboration with Richard Ginori, of which – starting in 1923 – he would be artistic director for over a decade.

Among the most significant works from the Museo Ginori are the large maiolica vases “La casa degli efebi” and “Donne e architetture” and the plate “Le mie donne: AGATA on flower and architecture” (all from 1925), the porcelain and gold cista “Conversazione classica” (1924), the monumental centerpiece for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and five versions of the famous Mano from 1935.
