Car Fetish presents the automobile as a source of inspiration for the art of the last hundred years.

Among them are examples of Pop Art and creations by the Nouveaux R alistes, with Jean Tinguely as biggest Formula 1 fan. The extensive catalog places the automobile in the context of cultural history as a key cultural artifact of the twentieth century.
