Withers Studio Legale Opens Milan Office with Lisa Ponti Exhibition
Withers has inaugurated a new office in Milan, situated in a refurbished palazzo on Via Durini. The launch includes an exhibition titled 'Withers Meets Art,' featuring 33 drawings from Lisa Ponti, a Milanese artist born in 1922. These works, crafted between 1992 and today, are displayed according to the color of the rooms, creating a vibrant ambiance. The exhibition also presents an unpublished painting titled 'Le gemelle' by Gio Ponti and a sculpture by Francesco Vezzoli, 'Portrait of Sophia Loren as the Muse of Antiquity,' from 2011. Open until December 21, 2018, the exhibit lays groundwork for future art initiatives.
