As the city became the centre of the American automobile industry in the early 20th century, its studios became incubators for new ideas and new styles. This volume highlights the artistry and influence of Detroit designers working in the industry between 1950 and the present day, giving readers a sumptuously illustrated opportunity to discover the ingenuity of influential (and surprisingly little-known) figures in postwar American car design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDetroit Style\u003c\/em\u003e showcases 12 coupes and sedans, representing both experimental cars created solely for display and iconic production models for the mass market. Dozens of design drawings and images of studio interiors—along with paintings and sculptures—highlight the creative process and dialogue between the American art world and car culture. These materials, in addition to interviews with influential figures in car design today, bring new insights and spark curiosity about the formative role Detroit designers have played in shaping the automotive world around us, and the ways their work has responded to changing tastes, culture, and technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDistributed for the Detroit Institute of Arts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetroit Institute of Arts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (November 15, 2020–January 9, 2022)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470419181804,"sku":"9780300247084","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300247084-detroit-style.jpg?v=1775218973"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/benjamin-colman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
