I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals, Roland Barthes famously said. I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object. For evidence of this dictum, one need look no further than Cars, the 1986-87 series of silkscreen prints and paintings that Andy Warhol (1928-1987) executed at the behest of Mercedes-Benz in honor of the esteemed German automaker's centenary. This volume of the same name collects Warhol's silkscreens together with the work of three other artists featuring Mercedes-Benz automobiles: drawings and airbrush paintings by Robert Longo (born 1953), videos by Sylvie Fleury (born 1961) and Vincent Szarek (born 1973), who takes design elements from the Mercedes-Benz SLR as the starting point for the sculptures depicted here.
