Three years have passed since the first edition of Piston Head: Artists Engage The Automobile. The cars displayed in the exhibition, organized for the first time by Venus Over Manhattan in Miami on December 8th 2013, are transformed into sculptures by modern and contemporary artists. Today, 2016, the Venus art gallery in Los Angeles (601 South Anderson Street) is ready to host the second edition, taking place next July 30th.
Lapo Elkann enthusiastically accepted the invitation to participate in the event with the creations of the Garage Italia Customs “artists” team. Collector Adam Lindemann, owner of the Venus Gallery, has been his friend for a long time and they share the great passion for art and cars.
Lapo Elkann adds, “I am happy that Garage Italia Customs and its creations have a role in VENUS’ exhibition alongside world-class artists. Adam Lindemann and I share a passion for the incredible artistry, beauty and power of the automobile. The VENUS exhibition gives Garage Italia Customs the rare opportunity to evolve beyond its unique cars and focus on the potential for innovation that still exists within the space.”
Garage Italia Customs will hence show the exclusive one-off Alfa Romeo 4C Hokusai and the BMW i8 Futurism Edition, unveiled in Italy last May.
