Daniel Arsham's new two-volume monograph, 'Arsham Motorsport,' showcases his extensive body of automotive artwork, blending custom designs with his signature 'Eroded' series. The first volume highlights his collaboration with automotive brands to create functional yet artistic vehicles. The second volume presents cars that appear to be artifacts from the future, capturing the essence of decay. Together, they encapsulate Arsham's exploration of the relationship between the enduring and the ephemeral, celebrating cars not only as machines, but also as evolving memories.
...the automobile is both an object of worship and a vehicle for artistic speculation. Over the years, the artist and designer has built an extensive body of work that pulls from the iconography of motorsport.
The first focuses on the custom cars he has built...not just as aesthetic exercises but as fully realized vehicles, engineered to be driven.
Together, the two volumes articulate Arsham's central preoccupation - the tension between permanence and ephemerality, between what is built to last and what is destined to disintegrate.
Designed with the same precision that Daniel Arsham brings to his sculptures, Arsham Motorsport is itself an artifact worth preserving.
