In 1970, Les Arts Décoratifs, Paris, presented a selection of competition cars, “Bolides Design.” A special jury chose the models with the idea of the car as a design object, a work of art, showing that “art and technique, each at their own level, are the expression of man and his relationship with design.” The Ralph Lauren collection can be seen from the same perspective.
For its first presentation in Europe, the Ralph Lauren Car Collection was recently on exhibition at Les Arts Décoratifs. Among the major car collections in the world, that of iconic American fashion designer Ralph Lauren stands out more than any other as synonymous with excellence. With this collection of the most prestigious sports cars from the 1930s to present day, Ralph Lauren shows that the automobile is a major art form created by the industry’s biggest names: Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Porsche and of course, Ferrari, the high point of this unique collection.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution photographs, a photo-gallery and two videos of the collection, “The Art of the Automobile: Speed, Style and Beauty.”

Reinvesting that money into additional vintage automobiles not only supports secure, hard asset investment strategies (especially during a time of projected inflation), but also has the potential to insulate family wealth for successive generations.Many of the buyers and consignors at these events are unaware of the opportunity... more
