New Artworks Unveiled in Montreal

Filed in archive Automotive Art on July 29, 2007

If only I had more walls to hang them on, I'd be a serious collector of automobile art. No, make that transportation art, as I'm also a fan of trains, planes, ships and boats. (Yes, one of these days I'll grow up.) Unfortunately my 1-bedroom condo has limited wall space and without spoiling the clean-lined modern decor, there's no more room. But that doesn't stop me from admiring other works and recommending them to viewers who may have gallery space available or are willing to squeeze one more piece onto a den wall. I'm already using my laundry room as an overflow.

Which gives me an opportunity to recommend to our wall-wealthy viewers some 33 different retro-inspired posters from the Levesque Collection, available from l'art et l'automobile online. Alain Levesque is one of the world's finest poster artists, whose latest works were unveiled at the 2006 Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. He recreates, among others, the classic race cars of Monaco and the muscle car racers of Watkins Glen (an era I remember well). The collection includes posters and limited edition giclees, priced from $20-$250. l'art et l'automobile is a gallery and auction house specializing in transportation-related art of all kinds.
