Viac o knihe
Sleek, fast hot rods with souped-up engines have captivated the youth who customize and drive them, as well as the artists who celebrate them. This exciting new book, created to accompany an exhibition at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art, showcases fantastically painted cars and artworks inspired by America's passion for custom vehicles. Notable contemporary artists like Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, Von Dutch, Robert Williams, Richard Prince, and Rubén Ortiz Torres view hot rods as more than transportation; they represent a lifestyle. Curator Nora Donnelly challenges the stereotype of American car culture being solely a white male domain by highlighting the contributions of women artists such as Sylvie Fleury and Fiona Banner, as well as the predominantly Latino low riders. With stunning images and a vibrant design, this book captures the sexy panache of its subject. Contributors include Brenda Jo Bright, a professor of anthropology; C. Ondine Chavoya, a critical studies professor; and automotive journalist Royal Ford. The publication features 95 illustrations, 75 in full color, and measures 9 5/16 x 12 inches.
