Bugatti Collection
The Petersen Automotive Museum will host
the ‘Art of Bugatti’ exhibition, one of the most complete lineups of the
Bugatti family ever, showcasing the most important creations of the company. The
exhibition will open to the public on October 23 and will remain on display for
a year.
The purpose of the exhibition is to give
visitors an inside look at the history of one of the greatest art dynasties of
the last two centuries, starting with the patriarch Carlo Bugatti and his path
through the arts, including his mastery of painting, furniture design and
manufacture and silversmithing. It then details the work of his two sons,
Rembrandt and Ettore before ending up to the latter’s children.
The vehicles on display include the Type
41 Royale, Type 57 Atalante, Type 35 and Type 46 along with modern Bugattis
like the EB110 and the recently unveiled Chiron, with the assemblage
representing the entire span of Bugatti, featuring cars designed by both Ettore
and his son Jean Bugatti.
