Exhibition Overview Based on the landmark exhibition that opened at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, in 1998 to record crowds, The Art of the Motorcycle explores the motorcycle as both cultural icon and design achievement and offers a thought-provoking challenge to conventional assumptions about art and popular culture in the modern age. Showcasing 80 historic and contemporary motorcycles, each exceptional example was selected based upon criteria that considered technical innovation, aesthetic excellence and cultural significance. The exhibition chronicles the most compelling moments in the evolution of motorcycle design in a stunning installation encompassing 14,000 square feet. Visitors will get a real feel for the eras through the use of period-appropriate materials on which the motorcycles are displayed along with descriptive labels. In addition, the galleries’ walls will feature publicity shots from famous movies that further put the motorcycles in a cultural context. The most stunning visual sweeps across the largest gallery — a glossy red-ribbon platform that flows and soars across the space, dramatically showcasing several of the motorcycles.
