Sensuous Steel: Art Deco Automobiles is an exhibition of Art Deco automobiles from some of the most renowned car collections in the United States.
Inspired by the Frist Center’s historic Art Deco building, this
exhibition features spectacular automobiles and motorcycles from the
1930s and ‘40s that exemplify the classic elegance, luxurious materials,
and iconography of motion that characterizes vehicles influenced by the
Art Deco style.
Fascination with automobiles transcends age, gender, and environment.
While today automotive manufacturers often strive for economy and
efficiency, there was a time when elegance reigned. Influenced by the
Art Deco movement that began in Paris in the early 1920s and propelled
to prominence with the success of the International Exposition of Modern
Decorative and Industrial Arts in 1925, automakers embraced the sleek
new streamlined forms and aircraft-inspired materials, creating
memorable automobiles that still thrill all who see them. The exhibition
features 18 automobiles and two motorcycles from some of the most
important collectors and collections in the United States.
Sensuous Steel 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 nationally acclaimed exhibition displayed at Atlanta’s 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 exhibited
at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts in Salt Lake City and the opening
exhibition for LeMay–America’s Car Museum in Tacoma, Wash. A highly
respected automotive journalist for over 40 years, Gross writes for
numerous publications including AutoWeek, Playboy, Hagerty’s Magazine, Sports Car Market, Motor Trend Classic, Popular Mechanics, msnautos.com, Old Cars Weekly, and The Rodder’s Journal.
A noted authority on automobiles, he has judged at the Pebble Beach
Concours d’Elegance for 24 years. Gross also judges at the Amelia Island
Concours and was the Chief Judge at the Rodeo Drive Concours
d’Elegance.
