ART: Daniel Arsham Cast One of the Most Beautiful Ferraris Ever Made for Latest Exhibition

After launching and selling out his CRACKED BEAR sculpture to diehard fans, Daniel Arsham is ready to unveil his latest exhibition in New York City’s Galerie Perrotin, titled “3018.”
The future-dated showcase highlights Arsham’s mastery of casting once again, this time highlight perhaps his most beautiful creation yet: a 1:1 proportionally-sized Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, made famous by 1986 cult classic film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The car, according to Arsham, was even more difficult to work on due to its scarcity, and required a bit of finessing in order to get an accurate 1:1 scale cast job completed.

“The DeLorean was a real DeLorean that we actually sourced. I took it apart, cast sections and then reassembled it. The Ferrari, there was only 55 of these originally made and in the film they only had one real one, which was the one that was parked in the garage.” Arsham explained he had to network with individuals not from Ferrari directly, but from the film crew. “They had a prop master make three replicas that were used for like driving around and when they drove it out the back. I found that guy and he made me this original positive that I then cast off of, so it traces back to the film and to the original car. … It’s considered in many design circles as the most beautiful car ever produced.”
