“Andy Warhol: Cars” – Mercedes-Benz Art Collection muestra las obras maestras de Warhol en Los Ángeles

Stuttgart/Los Angeles
  • 23 de julio de 2022 al 22 de enero de 2023 en el Petersen Automotive Museum de Los Ángeles
  •  Exposición presenta 40 obras de la importante serie Cars de Andy Warhol 
  • Las obras se exhiben junto con cinco de los modelos de vehículos Mercedes-Benz retratados por Warhol
  • La serie regresa a los EE. UU. por primera vez en más de 30 años

Del 23 de julio de 2022 al 22 de enero de 2023 , la Colección de Arte de Mercedes-Benz exhibirá algunos de sus tesoros más importantes y posiblemente más conocidos en el Petersen Automotive Museum de Los Ángeles: la exposición “Andy Warhol:  Cars  – Works”. de la colección de arte Mercedes-Benz” presenta 27 serigrafías sobre lienzo y 13 dibujos de la mundialmente famosa  Cars de Andy Warhol serie. En las imágenes, el artista pop estadounidense utiliza ocho modelos seleccionados de Mercedes-Benz para documentar la historia del automóvil, desde el Benz Patent Motor Car de 1886 hasta el automóvil de investigación C 111-II construido en 1970. En el Petersen Automotive Museum, uno de los museos automotrices más grandes del mundo, las obras se exhiben junto con cinco de los ocho vehículos retratados por Warhol, incluido el auto de carreras Mercedes-Benz Formula One W 196 R con carrocería aerodinámica, el Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” Coupé (W 198) y el coche de carreras de Fórmula Mercedes-Benz de 750 kilogramos W 125.

Renate Wiehager, Directora de la Colección de Arte Mercedes-Benz: “Desde la aclamada presentación en el Museo Guggenheim de Nueva York en 1988, la  serie Cars de Andy Warhol  ha sido invitada en los principales museos del mundo. Estamos muy complacidos de que después de más de 30 años, ahora se vuelva a ver extensamente en los EE. UU. El nombre Warhol tiene una atracción ‘mítica’ en el contexto del arte, como lo demuestra el número de visitantes a sus exposiciones. Esto también es cierto para la marca Mercedes-Benz en su contexto, que, materializado en el símbolo de la estrella, tiene un campo seguro de connotaciones: bello, rápido, moderno, lujoso, de calidad”.

Renata Jungo Brüngger, miembro del Consejo de Administración de Mercedes-Benz Group para Integridad y Asuntos Legales, también es responsable de la Colección de Arte Mercedes-Benz: “Estamos encantados de volver a hacer accesibles estas excelentes imágenes a una amplia audiencia internacional en la exposición de Los Ángeles y así contribuir a la promoción de la cultura y la educación. Porque ese es precisamente el objetivo de nuestra colección de arte: con nuestro compromiso social con la cultura y la educación, queremos crear un beneficio reconocible para el bien común. Las obras de arte de Andy Warhol han inspirado a personas durante generaciones, al igual que los vehículos Mercedes-Benz. Dos grandes marcas se encuentran en la   serie Cars ”.

La  serie Cars  : enlace legendario entre Andy Warhol y Mercedes-Benz

La serie  Cars  es uno de los últimos grupos coherentes de obras de Andy Warhol antes de su muerte en febrero de 1987. El artista creó la serie a fines del año 1986/87 en nombre de la entonces Daimler-Benz AG con motivo de la 100 aniversario del automóvil. Originalmente, se planearon 80 imágenes de 20 modelos de automóviles de ocho décadas diferentes, pero solo se pudieron completar 36 serigrafías sobre lienzo y 13 dibujos. Hasta la fecha, 30 serigrafías y los dibujos de la serie forman parte de la Colección de Arte Mercedes-Benz. Las obras son accesibles en los distintos sitios del Grupo Mercedes-Benz para los empleados y el público en visitas guiadas registradas.

Renate Wiehager: “Warhol se vio a sí mismo como socio de situaciones de encargo cuyo objetivo era transferir un producto a otro contexto: al contexto del arte, al contexto del ‘aura de Warhol’. Sin embargo, tal transferencia de productos tiene éxito sobre todo cuando dos productos se encuentran en el mismo plano. La alianza de la comisión entre Andy Warhol y Mercedes-Benz puede describirse como un golpe de suerte en “igualdad de condiciones”. Dos productos top se han encontrado aquí, cada uno de los cuales es absolutamente ‘top’ en su campo”.

En su  serie Cars  , Andy Warhol se dedica por primera vez a un producto industrial de origen europeo. Después de las “Botellas de Coca-Cola”, las “Latas de sopa Campbell” o los billetes de dólar que hicieron famoso al estadounidense en la década de 1960, una marca legendaria de la historia automotriz alemana es ahora el foco de su arte. Con los ocho modelos de vehículos retratados, Warhol muestra simultáneamente la capacidad de cambio y el carácter histórico de un producto. Para la serie anterior de Warhol con motivos de Campbell’s, Heinz o Del Monte, era de vital importancia que los productos estadounidenses se pudieran entregar en todas partes y estuvieran disponibles sin fin. En las pinturas de Warhol de la década de 1980, este “ahora-temporalidad” se transforma en una actitud que también permite el pasado y el desarrollo.

La colección de arte de Mercedes-Benz

La Colección de Arte Mercedes-Benz fue fundada en 1977 y es hoy una de las colecciones corporativas europeas más importantes con reputación internacional. La colección incluye alrededor de 3.000 obras de más de 650 artistas. El interés temprano, inicialmente relacionado con obras pictóricas, se dirigió a artistas del sur de Alemania. Estos incluyeron profesores y estudiantes de la Academia de Stuttgart como Adolf Hölzel, Oskar Schlemmer, Willi Baumeister, Hans Arp y Max Bill. Mientras tanto, la Colección de Arte Mercedes-Benz también incluye arte internacional y tiene un claro perfil basado en el arte y la ciencia. Esto se basa en la estructura sistemática de la colección con un enfoque de contenido concentrado en el arte abstracto-constructivo, conceptual y minimalista, así como en la fotografía contemporánea y el arte de los medios.

Las exposiciones de las obras en la empresa, en el Mercedes-Benz Contemporary en Potsdamer Platz Berlin y en museos internacionales (Nueva York, Detroit, Johannesburgo, Tokio, Singapur, Sao Paulo y Buenos Aires), permiten al público interesado en el arte interactuar con la colección a gran escala. Además, la Colección de Arte Mercedes-Benz otorga premios de patrocinio para el arte joven y ofrece un programa educativo complementario para escolares. La colección corporativa pone gran énfasis en los procesos sostenibles: por ejemplo, muestra exposiciones temáticas en diferentes lugares y utiliza materiales y tecnología para los conceptos de exposición de forma multifuncional. Al mismo tiempo, planifica el embalaje y el transporte de manera eficiente y para un uso a largo plazo, y reduce las distancias de viaje en la medida de lo posible.

“Andy Warhol: Cars” – Mercedes-Benz Art Collection shows Warhol’s masterpieces in Los Angeles

“Andy Warhol: Cars” – Mercedes-Benz Art Collection shows Warhol’s masterpieces in Los Angeles

Stuttgart/Los Angeles
  • July 23, 2022 to January 22, 2023 at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles
  • Exhibition presents 40 artworks from Andy Warhol’s important Cars series
  • Works are exhibited together with five of the Mercedes-Benz vehicle models portrayed by Warhol
  • Series is back in the US for the first time in over 30 years

From July 23, 2022 to January 22, 2023, the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection will showcase some of its most top-class and arguably best-known treasures at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles: the exhibition “Andy Warhol: Cars – Works from the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection” presents 27 screen prints on canvas and 13 drawings from Andy Warhol’s world-famous Cars series. In the pictures, the American pop artist uses eight selected Mercedes-Benz models to document the history of the automobile – from the Benz Patent Motor Car of 1886 to the C 111-II research car constructed in 1970. At the Petersen Automotive Museum – one of the largest automotive museums in the world – the works are on display together with five of the eight vehicles portrayed by Warhol – including the Mercedes-Benz Formula One racing car W 196 R with streamlined body, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” Coupé (W 198) and the Mercedes-Benz 750-kilogram formula racing car W 125.

Renate Wiehager, Head of the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection: “Since the highly acclaimed presentation at the Guggenheim Museum New York in 1988, Andy Warhol’s Cars series has been a guest in major museums around the world. We are very pleased that after more than 30 years, it will now be seen again extensively in the US. The name Warhol has a ‘mythical’ attraction in the context of art, as the visitor numbers to his exhibitions show. This is also true of the brand name Mercedes-Benz in its context, which – materialised in the symbol of the star – has a secure field of connotations: beautiful, fast, modern, luxurious, quality.”

Renata Jungo Brüngger, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group for Integrity and Legal Affairs, is also responsible for the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection: “We are delighted to once again make these great pictures accessible to a broad international audience in the Los Angeles exhibition and thus contribute to the promotion of culture and education. Because that is precisely the point of our art collection: with our social commitment to culture and education, we want to create a recognizable benefit for the common good. Andy Warhol’s artworks have inspired people for generations – just like Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Two top brands meet in the Cars series.”

The Cars series: Legendary liaison between Andy Warhol and Mercedes-Benz

The series Cars is one of the last coherent groups of works by Andy Warhol before his death in February 1987. The artist created the series at the turn of the year 1986/87 on behalf of the then Daimler-Benz AG on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the automobile. Originally, 80 pictures of 20 car models from eight different decades were planned, but only 36 screen prints on canvas and 13 drawings could be completed. To date, 30 screen prints and the drawings from the series are part of the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection. The works are accessible at the various Mercedes-Benz Group sites to employees and to public in registered guided tours.

Renate Wiehager: “Warhol saw himself as a partner of commissioning situations whose aim was to transfer a product into another context: into the context of art, into the context of the ‘Warhol aura’. However, such a product transfer succeeds above all when two products meet on the same plane. The commission alliance between Andy Warhol and Mercedes-Benz can be described as a stroke of luck on ‘equal terms’. Two top products have met here, each of which is absolutely ‘top’ in its field.”

In his Cars series, Andy Warhol devoted himself for the first time to an industrial product of European origin. After the “Coca-Cola Bottles”, the “Campbell’s Soup Cans” or the dollar bills that made the American famous in the 1960s, a brand legend of German automotive history is now the focus of his art. With the eight vehicle models portrayed, Warhol simultaneously shows the changeability and the historical character of a product. For Warhol’s earlier series with motifs from Campbell’s, Heinz or Del Monte, it was of central importance that the American products were deliverable everywhere and endlessly available. In Warhol’s paintings of the 1980s, this “now-temporality” transforms into an attitude that also allows for the past and development.

Exhibitions of the works in the company, at the Mercedes-Benz Contemporary at Potsdamer Platz Berlin and in international museums (New York, Detroit, Johannesburg, Tokyo, Singapore, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires), enable the art-interested public to engage with the collection on a broad scale.

The corporate collection places great emphasis on sustainable processes: for example, it shows thematic exhibitions at different locations and uses materials and technology for exhibition concepts in a multifunctional way. At the same time, it plans packaging and transport efficiently and for long-term use, and reduces travel distances where possible.

EXHIBITION ABSTRACT

Andy Warhol: Cars
Works from the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection

Commissioned on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the motor car, Andy Warhol’s uncompleted 1986/87 Cars series was to include 80 pictures intended to record the history of the motor car from the Daimler Motor Coach and Benz Patent Motor Car, both dating from 1886, to the present day. The last series of pictures to be undertaken in his lifetime, only 36 silk-screen paintings and 13 drawings representing eight different Mercedes-Benz models were completed. Much like his previous work involving the iconography of branded consumer products and celebrities, Warhol managed to bring together the image of the automobile, and more specifically the Mercedes-Benz brand, within the context of high art.

Having started his career in advertising before becoming an artist, and eventually developing into what he called a “business artist,” Warhol’s commissions represent an acknowledgment of the commercial reality of artistic production often concealed by modern notions of the autonomous artist. Falling just outside of Warhol’s specific “iconography of the everyday,” these vintage automobiles, like many exclusive luxury products, are desired by many but scarcely available to the masses. Thus, as objects of general longing and icons of automotive history, the abstracted images associated with these consumer products occupy a prominent space within cultural memory. In this exhibition, these highly allusive automobiles and their images appear within the context of two celebrated brands, Mercedes-Benz and the one that Andy Warhol constructed for himself.

Andy Warhol. Super Pop | Turismo Madrid 2022

Andy Warhol. Super Pop | Turismo Madrid

En enero de 1983, Andy Warhol inauguró en Madrid Pistolas, Cuchillos y Cruces, la primera exposición individual de pintura que el artista realizaba en España.

Vijande trajo a Warhol a España hace casi 40 años y la trascendencia de este hito todavía se sigue comentando a día de hoy, cuando nos llega la gran noticia de una nueva exposición sobre este icono que ha marcado a generaciones de artistas, comisarios, cineastas y diseñadores hasta nuestros días.
