Call this Art ? - Lamborghini Countach - Adult Content

[autofocus]

Hi there,

Was at Silverstone today for the first day of the Silverstone Classic. Some gorgeous cars on display and also out on track.
While meandering through the trade village I spotted this: -





Apparently this is called 'Art', although why anyone would want that message on this side of a painted car is beyond me.
My first thoughts were that this was a dodgy replica, however it looked pretty genuine. Wheels were genuine, had Lamborghini steering wheel, it even had the '25th Anniversary' badge on the back.

Here is a link to the artists site: -

and inparticular the car project: -

Does anyone have any more info on this car, and what are your thoughts ?

Regards

Tim

Looks like someone couldn't decide which colour to order so got them all!

The Countach was punk before Punk and always has been - this works for me .

Vile...

But only a bad replica, isn't it...?

[DrYazz]

Where is the adult content?

[snuffle]

It would look much better if the wheels were a graphite grey rather than white.
otherwise it looks just fine.

Not sure... could be a U.S import (9side repeater lights give it away as an import).

Horrible thing..

No it is definitely a real Countach Anniversary

No engine though.

Kristian Von Hornsleth (he bought the Von...) is always trying to create debate with his art, looks as if he succeeded

In 2006, he gave away farm animals to the citizens of a village in Uganda, in exchange of them taking his surname!



Bit of a nutter, but the world would be less fun without his sort

A professional peasant. Good to see a man taking a pride in his work.

Its an epic fail on so many levels!

Looks to me like a Turner prize attempt from a filthy rich kid who is trying to convince the world that he is Andy Warhol whilst living on family wealth.

These days if you saw a cow in half it is animal cruelty, however put it in a tank of formaldahide and look at it with a glass of wine in a gallery and it is art.

Pour paint over a classic sports car and it is sacrilege (even vandalism!). Put your poncy name on the side and its art.

And all because no one just tells them that its not actually art, its crap!

IMO

Agreed, looks like the paint wasn't stirred properly.

I think that kind of art is lazy. It has been done before and to a much higher standard on the various BMW art cars. It's almost like taking a Salvator Dali original, pouring paint all over it so that the work below is mostly obscured and calling the resultant mess 'art'.

I had a good look around it.

Its just a shell with interior, there was no mechanical stuff, no engine....

[badbunny]

I thought it was particularly vile.....unfortunately to criticise 'art' which in itself is subjective, leaves you open to comments such as 'Neanderthal' and 'ignorant'. I went in the tent and thought that the rest of his 'art' was also crap! I am therefore an ignorant Neanderthal and proud

It's only paint - it's just as easy to paint it back.
