Metal Marvels: Art Inspired by the Car through August 28

Feather Headdress from the Pioneer's Museum, CO Springs

Get weak at the knees when you see a beautifully striped hot rod or custom car? Artists have been focusing their attention on cars for decades. Yet they receive little attention from the art world for their work and are rarely shown in fine art institutions. Since the 1950s, car culture has become ingrained in American life and permeated the art world. Artists have focused their attentions on everything from representing the car, using car parts to create art, and creating art to adorn the car.  Artists and collectors represented in this exhibit include: John Largent, Eddie Potestio, Keith Kaucher, Jack Giachino, Steve Kafka, Von Dutch, Ed Roth, Babbo, Von Hot Rod, Steve Vandemon, Gary Moore, Todd Gold, David Malcolm, Ricky Willits, Ed Willits, Bates Wilson, Darrell Mayabb and others.
