Item description

A rare and precious sculpture made by Gio Ponti for De Poli in the 1950s. The sculpture, made of enamelled copper in shades of blue, represents a bull. These animal figures - cats, fish, horses, but also watermelons and devils - are cut and folded like paper. Flat figures that stand on their own. They are a Pontian way of always just using drawing, of drawing with scissors. Then it was the turn of Paolo De Poli, master of enamel on copper, to transform them into objects. Made with fun and skill.
