International Classics - Volkswagen Group automobile designers present their illustrations of international automobile classics for the first time

"Galerie auf Zeit" in Wolfsburg exhibits some 40 works

Wolfsburg - The three young automobile designers Stephan Kühler (Volkswagen), Simon Loasby (Bentley) and Travis Lonigan (Volkswagen Design Center California) jointly exhibited their rendering technique illustrations and interpretations of classic cars in the history of the automobile.

The approximately 40 exhibits are individual variations on a theme and balance on the threshold between photographic realism and impressionism. They underline the character of the exhibited classic cars through unusual perspectives, slightly modified proportions and emotional colour constellations. The subjects, ranging from impressions from racing to the depiction of dream cars, provide the viewer with insights into the professional inspiration and motivation of the three designers.

Rendering, a technique used in automobile design, is used to present new concepts and designs throughout the world. The work of a designer using this technique is the origin of every new vehicle.

To coincide with the vernissage, several rare vehicles were displayed outside the "Galerie auf Zeit": a Bentley Arnage T, built 2002, a Ferrari Testarossa, built 1987, a Ferrari 348, built 1990, and a De Lorean DMC-12, built 1981.

The exhibition "International Classics" will run until 23.06.2002 in the "Galerie auf Zeit", Goethestraße 55, in Wolfsburg. As of today, the collection can be viewed on the internet under www.internationalclassics.com.

"International Classics" is supported by Volkswagen art foundation, Neuland GmbH and Modellissimo.
