An exhibition of Art Deco automobiles will be displayed at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, Tennessee, from June 14 through September 15, 2013. The exhibition, entitled Sensuous Steel: Art Deco Automobiles<\/em>, will be on view in the Center\u2019s Ingram Gallery.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the Frist Center\u2019s historic Art Deco building, Sensuous Steel: Art Deco Automobiles<\/em> will feature automobiles and motorcycles from the 1930s and \u201840s that exemplify the elegance, materials and iconography of motion characterizing vehicles influenced by the Art Deco style.<\/p>\n

Influenced by the Art Deco movement that began in Paris in the early 1920s and propelled to prominence in 1927 with the success of the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, automakers embraced the sleek new streamlined forms and aircraft-inspired materials, creating memorable automobiles that still thrill all who see them. The exhibition will feature 18 automobiles and three motorcycles from some of the most important collectors and collections in the United States.<\/p>\n

Sensuous Steel<\/em> is organized for the Frist Center by guest curator Ken Gross, former director of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Gross served as guest curator for The Allure of the Automobile<\/a><\/em>, a nationally acclaimed exhibition displayed at Atlanta\u2019s High Museum of Art in 2010; additionally, he developed a revised version of the exhibition for the Portland Art Museum the following year. Most recently, Gross curated Speed: The Art of the Performance Automobile<\/em>, currently on view at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the opening exhibition for LeMay\u2013America\u2019s Car Museum in Tacoma, Wash. A noted authority on automobiles, Gross has judged at the Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance for 24 years. Gross also judges at the Amelia Island Concours and was the Chief Judge at the Rodeo Drive Concours d\u2019Elegance. Additionally, Gross has received many awards including the 2009 IAMA Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2009 Lee Iacocca Award, the 2008 Washington Auto Press \u201cGolden Quill Award,\u201d the Society of Automotive Historians\u2019 \u201cCugnot Award,\u201d and \u201cThe James Valentine Memorial Award\u201d for excellence in automotive historical research.<\/p>\n

An illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.<\/p>\n

The Frist Center for the Visual Arts is supported in part by the Metro Nashville Arts Commission, the Tennessee Arts Commission, and the National Endowment for the Arts.<\/p>\n
