Lisa, Aldo and Saul
This exhibition by Galleria Annamaria Consadori is in ideal continuity with the one organised in 2021 Saul Steinberg: Milanese homage. In fact, the corpus of drawings, or rather: of drawn letters by Lisa Ponti (1922-2019) presented here is that of her correspondence with Aldo Buzzi (1910-2009).
The exhibition compares the work of two artists, Arduino Cantàfora a
nd Delfino Sisto Legnani. The first, with a series of paintings, drawings and engravings ranging from 1975 to 2020; the second, with a group of photographs created for the occasion (2023, with Alessandro Mensi) as comment and reflection on the work of the older master.

Galleria Consadori presents the new exhibition with the artoworks by Saul Steinberg. Together with other pieces by Tullio Pericoli, Paolo Ventura and Andrea Ventura.
