Art on Wheels

So what if you don't care about cars? Why should you come to Art on Wheels (May 16), the Collectors' benefit event? Well, other than the opportunity to help out the museum, the items being donated for the silent auction are really special. Not only is there a painting by Pierre Daura, donated by his daughter, Martha Randolph Daura, but we will also have a work by Lamar Dodd, a work contributed by Steve Penley and a selection of designer shoes and handbags by the likes of Manolo Blahnik and Chanel. You only have a few more days to get your RSVPs in.

Art of Automobiles

Sure, the High Museum of Art will open its exhibition The Allure of the Automobile in March 2010, but if you can't wait for your cars, be sure to RSVP for Art on Wheels, the Collectors benefit event to be held May 16.

What to Expect...

What cars will be at Art on Wheels? Tim Brown, director of membership for the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art, just passed on the following list that should give you some good idea of the expressions of automotive design that will be there:

1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II
1957 Mercedes Benz 300sl Roadster
1954 Mercury Monterey Woodie Wagon
1960 Mercedez Benz 300d
1948 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet
1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible
1960 Thunderbird Convertible
1963 Buick Riviera Coupe
1957 Oldsmobile Super 98
1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud Limousine (one of only six ever made)
1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow
1967 Mercedes Benz 250se Cabriolet
1950 Ford Convertible
1960 Imperial Crown Sedan
1965 Corvette Roadster

We hope to see you as well. It should be an exciting and different event for us.

The Collectors Visit...

Here's the photo set from the Collectors' visit to the home of Mary and the late Michael Erlanger, this past Tuesday.



The next Collectors event is Art on Wheels, the invitation for which appears below (click to make it bigger).


We really think it's going to be a unique event, and it's important for you to know that the cars that will be there are not run of the mill vintage automobiles but truly rare and special ones. Print invitations are on their way to you. To find out more about becoming a member of the Collectors, click here.
