The ultimate form of expression available to any artist is the creation of a completely new work of art, and this is multiplied when the individual piece forms part of a series. The appeal of creating such a series of sculptures, where the central theme is the iconic sports car, has inspired the Swiss artist, Dante, to depict the legendary Aston Martin DB5 in its purest form. The fusion of art and classic automobile design raises the cinematic icon to a new level.

Of all the British car manufacturers Aston Martin maintains a unique place, as the name is synonymous with style and sophistication. The company upholds this image with each new model it releases, yet few if any will ever be as famous as the DB5, thanks to the appearance of a gadget laden version of the car in the 1964 film Goldfinger, starring Sean Connery. The exploits of agent 007 and his vehicle produced a world of avid James Bond fans, in the same way that Dante wishes to capture the imagination of art collectors and classic car enthusiasts.

The Aston Martin sculptures are quarter scale, 1:4, interpretations of the original vehicle and are limited to a maximum of ten pieces worldwide. These bespoke works of art are finished in galvanised gold to 50g and mounted on a sumptuous piano black finished display plinth, which is supplied complete with LED light system. The DB5 sculptures portray the vehicle which inspired a generation of filmgoers, and are an ideal addition to any private art collection.

As with each of the sculptures created in the series, the Aston Martin DB5 will be available in three different guises. The smaller 1:4 scale version provides collectors with a stunning interpretation of this cinematic icon with the added lustre of a galvanised old finish. However, the two larger museum quality pieces add an extra dimension in terms of collectability. The 1:2 scale sculpture is limited to a maximum of five pieces worldwide and is hand-finished in white gold leaf and mounted on a superb piano black lacquered display plinth, which is supplied complete with a full remote control light system. Yet the ultimate expression of the vehicle is produced with the 1:1 scale interpretation. Finished to the highest possible standards in platinum, the 1:1 scale sculpture is only available by invitation from the artists, thereby ensuring the retained value for those who appreciate a financial investment as well as truly outstanding art.
