Cars as Art: Alfa Romeo’s B.A.T. Concept Cars

In this episode of Expert Voices, Ian Kelleher speaks on Alfa Romeo’s ingenuity in the creation of the B.A.T. concept cars. Designed by Franco Scaglione, the cars remain today as a testimony of what one man can do in the field of design. Sculpted by aerodynamics, on sale for the first time ever as a trio in an exclusive auction by RM Sotheby’s, the B.A.T. cars transcend the medium of the automobile into the realm of fine art. Alfa Romeo’s B.A.T. Concept Cars are highlights of the Contemporary Art Evening Auction (28 October 2020, New York).
