Der ehemalige Formel-1-Chef und Gründer Bernie Ecclestone ist ein unermüdlicher Sammler von echten Autos (viele Ferraris) und Kunst

Kein Wunder, dass er auch bei "Ferrari in Art – The Sporting Legacy" nicht wiederstehen konnte. Die Sammlung von 25 Original-Kunstwerken zum Thema Ferrari umfasst eine Serie von Werken des Künstlers Mark Dickens in Zusammenarbeit mit dem renommierten F1-Fotografen Keith Sutton.

 

„Eine solche Zusammenarbeit hat es noch nie gegeben und ich konnte der Gelegenheit nicht widerstehen, sie für meine Privatsammlung zu erwerben. Ich kenne Mark und Keith gut, war immer von ihrer Professionalität beeindruckt”, sagt Ecclestone. 

„Ich wurde 2009 zum ersten Mal auf Mark aufmerksam und beauftragte ihn 2011 mit der Erstellung von 19 Gemälden, die jedes der Rennen des Jahres zeigen. Im darauffolgenden Jahr haben wir jedes Gemälde dem jeweiligen Promoter präsentiert. Ich kenne Keith sogar noch länger, da ich ihn zum ersten Mal traf, als er vor 40 Jahren seine Karriere als Motorsportfotograf begann. Ich bin mir seiner anhaltenden Leidenschaft für Ferrari sehr bewusst.”

Sebastian Vettel ist ebenfalls ein Fan der “World Champions in Art”.

2016 erwarb der vierfache Weltmeister  die erste Kollektion der beiden.

 

Für das Ferrari-Kunstwerk spürte Sutton alle einflussreichen Persönlichkeiten auf, die mit der italienischen Marke verbunden sind. 

Für jedes Bild wurden Fahrer, Besitzer, Fans und Motorsport-Persönlichkeiten gebeten, in ihren eigenen Worten auszudrücken, was ‘Ferrari’ für sie bedeutet. 

Mehr als 129 handgeschriebene Zitate kamen zusammen und wurden auf die 25 Kunstwerke übertragen. 

Das Ergebnis: eine einzigartige, zeitgenössische und historische Sammlung.

Originalzitate zu Ferrari

Bernie Ecclestone

 “My first meeting with Mr Ferrari was strange; because of his lack of English and my lack of Italian. But, with the help of Mr Gozzi, we managed very well and became close, probably because he trusted me, and I trusted him. Even when we had the FOCA/FIA war, behind the wall, he supported me. Although he always referred to the English teams as garage people, he had big respect for Colin Chapman of Lotus. He liked people to think that he supported the FIA as that was the legal establishment but was always happy with the deal that we closed together. I really miss this real gentleman, Mr Ferrari. He could be relied on to do what he promised.”

Enzo-Sohn Piero Ferrari
“My father would have liked Ferrari of today?
Tough and demanding, as a father and as a boss, capable of gestures of great and unexpected generosity.
Courageous and innovative, always looking to the future decided to set up the “Scuderia” in 1929 the year of the great crisis and the project of creating a car factory in Italy still living in the ruins of the Second World War.
My father was interested to the future, not to the past. Not just interested in the cars of the future but on all new technologies from which top take imagination for future projects. For sure he would have been enthusiastic about the “internet era”, but unfortunately died before.
It’s precisely because of the father total determination to look ahead and his saying that the best Ferrari was yet to come, that my father have liked what the company has become today.”

Mario Andretti (F1-Fahrer 1971, 1972, 1982)
“My admiration (no, it’s more like pure love) of Ferrari began when I was a child growing up in Italy. I was a true fan. The most influential person to me at the time was Alberto Ascari, World Champion for Ferrari. Later, when I had the chance to drive and win for the Ferrari factory – as well as have a personal relationship with Enzo Ferrari – it was incredible. Today Ferrari is at the top of the list of unforgettable experiences in my life. I don’t think there is anything more prestigious for a professional racing driver than to say you drove and won for Ferrari. It has extreme special meaning all across the globe. You can talk about Ferrari anywhere in the world and everyone knows the esteem.”


Gordon Ramsey (Sternekoch)
“Why Ferrari?
If you saw one on the motorway when you were five or six you never forgot it.
My dream was to win three Michelin Stars and own a Ferrari.
I can see the synergy between what I do and what happens at Ferrari.”


Nigel Mansell (F1-Fahrer 1989 - 1990)
“Driving for Ferrari was a honour and a privilege, with so many cherished memories.
Also to be nicknamed ‘Il Leone’ by the Italian fans was very special.
Ferrari is a family second to none.”

Lawrence Stroll (Besitzer Aston Martin F1-Team)
“Passion!”

Charles Leclerc (F1-Fahrer bei Ferrari)
“Ferrari has always been a dream since child. This team has so much history in F1 and to be no part of it in only my second Formula 1 season is beyond everything I had dream of.”


Prinz Albert II von Monaco
“Ferrari stands for excellence, expertise, competition, elegance and tradition.
All drivers dream at some point in their career, of racing for Ferrari, as it embodies the very essence of high performance in sport.
I dare draw a parallel between Ferrari and the Monaco Grand Prix, both emblematic entities associated with the history of Formula One racing.
Ferrari is more than a recognised brand across the globe. It is a generator of dreams for most of us. It’s an aura that is not about to wane in any way with future generations. Since the women and men who contribute to it are inbred with its history and the will to perpetuate Enzo Ferrari’s legacy”
