Project Name | The Past and Present of Mercedes Benz Racing Cars in One Monumental Sculpture | Posted in | Installation | Artist | Gerry Judah |
Year | 2014 | Venue | Goodwood House |
The two automobiles were placed on a breathtaking 90-metre-long arch suspended over the 18th-century Goodwood House, in what is considered to have been the most architecturally challenging and spectacular installation ever seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The sculpture created the impression that the two cars were about to collide into one another, thus poetically capturing an imaginary moment where the contemporary Formula 1 car crosses paths (perhaps somewhere on the highways of Time) with its 1930’s predecessor. The elaborate fabrication and installation of the 160-tonne steel sculpture was undertaken by Littlehampton Welding, whilst the project’s engineering was completed by CAPITA.
{YatzerTip} With Gerry Judah’s sculpture for Mercedes Benz definitely taking our breath away, the one he designed for Porsche last year was no less remarkable either! You can check it out here.
