As a seasoned gamer and art enthusiast with a soft spot for automobiles, I must say that the CART Department’s Art Car Series at the 2024 LA Auto Show has truly taken my breath away. The fusion of iconic artists like Keith Haring, Virgil Abloh, and cultural legends such as Jay-Z and Kanye West, with the raw power and aesthetics of custom cars, is a symphony that resonates deeply within me.
The CART Department is a burgeoning stage that honors the fusion of automobile culture and art via carefully selected content, partnerships, and gatherings. In association with West Coast Customs, the CART Department unveiled the Art Car Series at the 2024 LA Auto Show, exhibiting ten exceptional vehicles designed by esteemed artists and cultural influencers. The exhibition continues until December 1 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Significant automobiles encompass Keith Haring’s 1983 Buick adorned with his art, Virgil Abloh’s modified Land Rover, and the dismantled Maybach from Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Otis” music video. These vehicles encapsulate a vibrant tale of creativity that traverses art, music, and contemporary lifestyle. Additionally, West Coast Customs enhances the Art Car Series with its unique custom creations, showcasing vehicles such as Don Tolliver’s AMG Mercedes and Wil.i.am’s innovative Tesla design.
In a recent statement, Larry Warsh, founder of the CART Department, publisher, and collector, explained that the Art Car Series signifies an essential new branch of art, connecting traditional art with contemporary popular culture. One captivating feature of these art cars is their ability to tell stories. This discussion aims to introduce the vehicles as a treasure trove for future generations, helping them grasp and value our current society’s essence.
