Patina Gallery welcomes internationally renowned automobile photographer, Michael Furman, to Santa Fe for his third exhibition.

The artist introduces his latest collection of fine art photography, celebrating revolutionary automobile rear-end design.

For over 35 years, the artist has captured the world’s most significant cars and relates them to the many beautiful and intricate facets of the automobile experience. In every photograph, Furman tells the story of the designers and engineers: Those who, in response to the social and political contexts in which they worked, idealized the cars of the future.

Furman’s curated images are presented to you from his latest passion project, Badass, the newly released book by Bruce Meyer and John Nikas. Following this, the artist returns for his exhibition at Patina of the same name, Badass, highlighting 12 of his favorite selections.

Beginning at 4pm, car experts and enthusiasts, John Paul Gonzalez and T.G. Mittler, will present a curation of up to 20 exceptional, unusual, and rare models, parked along West Palace Avenue.

At 5pm, accompany us in the gallery where Furman will virtually introduce his photographic collection. 

As we celebrate the artist’s collection of extraordinary images, be one of the first to grab your own automobile portrait and a copy of the book, Badass, signed by Michael Furman.

Behold an electrifying journey of design from stem to stern. Let charisma, personality, and innovation be your guide to a coveted array of the most prized and celebrated automobiles of our time.
