Gerald Laing. Full Speed

Pilots, dragsters and racing cars convey the allure of speed in the works of Gerald Laing, a leading figure of British Pop Art. MAUTO – Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile dedicates to the artist the first Italian monographic exhibition, hosted in the Project Room. Curated by Elena Geuna, in collaboration with The Estate of Gerald Laing, Full Speed explores the relationship between art, technology and image culture. Intense colours and cinematic compositions transform the world of competition into a visual narrative of the automobile as a symbol of progress and an icon of popular culture. The exhibition presents works in many cases never shown before in Italy, offering the opportunity to discover an artist who in the 1960s took part in the New York art scene alongside Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Indiana.
