Ferrari 70th Year Anniversary
Ferrari 1947 - 2017
Seventy years ago the first car bearing Enzo Ferrari’s name was produced: the Ferrari 125 Sport was born on May 11, 1947 and as they say the rest is history.
Now Ferrari is one of the most famous name in the world.
As an automobile enthusiast, it was a great honor and thrill to work for the company in the 1970’s, where I sold Ferraris in N.Y.C for Luigi Chinetti, the original importer of the marque in the U.S.A, and had the opportunity to visit the factory in Maranello and meet Enzo himself.

As a collector of automobile art and memorabilia, I was asked by Enzo and Franco Gozzi, his right hand man, to collaborate on a book of Ferrari artworks produced over the decades. It was a delight working on this project for a few years, accumulating many photographs and information about the works and the artists, then the summer of 1988 came and we lost this great man. His son, Piero Lardi, ensured me he would finish his father’s project but unfortunately it never happened.
Yet, over the years I had the opportunity to drive many of the different Ferrari models, sports and race cars, on the road, on the track and at different events. I feel very lucky and I will always stay a great fan of this marque.
Being the owner of l’art et l’automobile gallery for the past 42 years, I have come across many of the great work that has been produced about the prancing horse. I would like to present you with some of them in this email (or click on the button below to see all of them).

Automotive Artwork in 3D
The beginning of Automotive sculptures mirrors the development of the automobile itself. The sculptures that came out of the 1890’s and early 1900’s in Europe and America and the artwork were mainly commissioned by race organizers and manufacturers as trophies and awards. Those early pieces were orientated towards usage rather than collection to glorify the product, the driver or the event.
Razzia - Art of Traveling In Style
The Louis Vuitton/Razzia Connection.
Louis Vuitton probably does not really need any introduction. It is a pretty well known name, originally recognized for their luxury luggage with the famous LV monogram.
The Futuristic Artwork Of Alain Lévesque
Alain’s artwork will take you back to the 1930’s to the Art Deco Era. As a child, he was more interested in creating images he had in his mind than concentrating on his school work. In class, he was thinking more about drawing elegant automobile lines instead of what his teacher had to say.
