Step into a world where automotive design meets fine art at the Petersen Automotive Museum’s latest exhibition, Eyes On the Road: Art of the Automotive Landscape. This captivating showcase brings together an eclectic mix of mid-20th-century concept cars, offering a glimpse into the innovative minds of designers from the 1930s to the 1950s. These rare vehicles, with their sleek lines and futuristic features, are more than just cars—they’re works of art in their own right.

The exhibition doesn’t stop at automobiles. It also highlights the intersection of car culture and visual art by featuring pieces from some of the most influential artists of the 20th century, including Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, and David Hockney. Their works explore the iconic imagery of the American road, capturing the spirit of an era when the automobile symbolized freedom and the open road was a canvas for creativity.

Eyes On the Road offers visitors a unique opportunity to appreciate the artistry behind both the cars and the artwork they inspired, reflecting a time when the automotive landscape was not just about transportation but a powerful cultural and artistic statement. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or an art lover, this exhibition promises a thought-provoking journey through a pivotal period in American history.
