Late Artist Steve Kaufman Leads the Exhibition “ICONS OF POP ART Then and Now”
Modena, Italy (PRBuzz.com) February 27, 2014 -- American Pop Art, Inc. is proud to announce the grand exhibition, “Icons of Pop Art, Then and Now,” a convergence of the best in vintage sports cars with collectible contemporary art, now through May 4, 2014 at the newly renovated Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari (House of Ferrari Museum), Via Paolo Ferrari 85 in Modena, Italy.
The House of Ferrari Museum reopened on February 18, 2014 after several weeks of restoration work to mark the February 18 birth date of Drake Enzo Ferrari in 1898, and to reflect a whole new generation for Ferrari. The transformations now offer 3,500 square meters of breathtaking cars, 100 years of historical archives, art exhibitions, and virtual experiences. Nineteen high definition floor-to-ceiling projectors will feature a 15-minute documentary detailing the life of Enzo Ferrari that will screen for visitors every 30 minutes.
Luca di Montezemolo and Piero Ferrari, Ferrari president and vice president, were joined by Antonio Ghini, museum director, at the opening ceremonies for the new main hall building in Modena.
Currently on exhibition is “Icons of Pop Art, Then and Now,” which presents a brief history of Pop Art from its origins to the present day. The exhibition unites Enzo Ferrari’s thrilling collection of champion race cars with prestigious works by revolutionary pop artists Andy Warhol, Roy Litchenstein, Steve Kaufman, Russell Young, Burton Morris, and Romero Britto. The link between fast cars and exhilarating paintings was made by famous artist Steve Kaufman when he chose to paint the beautiful Ferrari automobile in 2006.
“Icons of Pop Art, Then and Now,” is organized by the Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari in Modena in collaboration with Diana Vachier, President of American Pop Art, Inc. and Gerald Hartinger Fine Arts; and designed by Alberto Panizzoli, Caterina Tosoni, Museum Curator Giovanni Perfetti, and Museum Director Adriana Zini. The late artist Steve Kaufman, former assistant of Andy Warhol, is represented by American Pop Art, Inc.
