Automotive Art – Nicolas Hunziker’s “Birdcage in the Woods”

Maserati Tipo 61 Artwork

Artist Nicolas Hunziker reduces the Gurney/Moss Birdcage to an abstraction.

CAMORADIโ€”an acronym for Casner Motor Racing Divisionโ€”was formed by Lloyd โ€œLuckyโ€ Casner in late 1959. The intention was to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans using the Maserati Tipo 61, also known as the โ€œBirdcageโ€ due to its intricate tubular space-frame chassis. While victory at Le Mans eluded the team, Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney scored an overall victory at the 1960 Nรผrburgring 1,000 Kms. A feat that CAMORADI USA repeated the following year.
