MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 7/Medianet International-AsiaNet/ --
In 1998, the Guggenheim Museum mounted the Art
of the Motorcycle Exhibition that historian, Jeremy Packer, described as
representing "the end of a cycle of....social rejection of
motorcyclists." Each of the 114 exhibits was chosen "for their
historic importance or design excellence."
"The idea that a motorcycle could be considered as a work of art
was as shocking to some as it was liberating to others," says Catherine
Davison, Automotive Specialist at Mossgreen. "It has been a long social
evolutionary process for the motorcycle to be recognised as a work of
art."
