Business introduction

There are an estimated 77 million baby boomers in America born between 1946 and 1964, and the first of them started to turn 60 this year. Through their sheer size, this generation has given rise to a host of industries, trends and services that are part of our everyday lives: rock 'n' roll, online shopping to name a few, plus they have been in an aggressive period of accumulating asets -- bigger homes, boats and investing & collecting classic & exotic automobiles for their enjoyment. Thus the need has arisen to understand the wants and trends of the baby boomers by providing them with the ultimate garage that's elaborate, with some of them even having kitchens (with cherry cabinetry & granite countertops), bars, bathrooms and plush sitting areas, where people can gather and socialize & even hold parties or social functions. Their automotive art gallery includes pieces such as murals, lithographed prints, originals and even Vintage Automobilia to compliment their automobile collections. We are not limiting ourselves exclusively to designing art galleries for ultimate garages, and can easily design a gallery for private residences, restaurants, car delealerships, hotels, conferance rooms, resorts, as well as the corporate world, both here and abroad.


The name of my business is called Automotive Art Galleries, LLC. and will soon have a web site. We can work with a clients limited budget and help them choose individual art pieces or design an affordable or expensive custom art gallery for them.as well, we can present to them a collection of art that comes from and evokes the Golden Era of automobiles, with sitting areas containing plush chairs & soft lighting which makes it comfotable & welcoming & special. We specialize in artwork for foreign & exotic sports cars such as; Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Bugatti, Porche & Alfa Romeo, etc. Other makes have a limited supply of artwork for them and we would have to research the selected make to see if we can provide the artwork for them.

In previewing the art field for automobile collectors, there simply aren't many quality large art works to display with their major collections.Thus the need arose to simply fill this void by having an exclusive gallery that catered to a full range of clients throughout the world. We are in the process of working with artists whose artwork can be made into high quality large format Giclee prints, which would be quite affordable. Car Art, Inc. based in California says the following, “Internationally renowned artists and museums, such as the new York Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, have had exhibitions using this medium. Tests by Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. have shown that a typical Giclée print will withstand 32-36 years of average home or office light exposure before any perceptible fading occurs.” Artists would need high resolution images of their paintings on file, and they could quite easily digitally resize them, and supply them to their publisher who could then print them to various sizes. When these prints are shipped to your residence you’ll have to visit your local art & frame shop for them to build a custom stretcher for it. It can be hung as is or a frame can be made for it. Remember, personal art makes an admired and much talked about centerpiece in your home, business office or “ultimate garage” ... and becomes a cherished heirloom for generations to come.

I am presently working on a private art gallery for a client whose collection exceeds 10 million dollars. I am a consultant on the project and selecting the very best of pieces from what I consider to be the top automotive artists in the field. I lay out the design of the art gallery and provide my clients with a set of detailed plans showing scaled architectural elevations (with dimensions) of the walls that display their selected artworks in full color. This is paramount as the gallery can now be viewed in scale that shows the balance and composition of the selected art works. Plans are reviewed by the client and signed off before any comissioned art work is to be ordered. I design the placement of the pieces and take responsibility for the custom framing (on local work) and recommend the lighting for the project. When displaying your pieces of art it’s best to use movable track lighting, as your exhibit changes through time it’s easy to readjust the track lights to accommodate your new or updated display. Improper lighting can literally ruin your art pieces, change the colors to improper values, and create hot spots on your artwork. We recommend Solux lighting which was developed to ensure optimal viewing conditions for paintings both in the gallery and the home. “Solux is specified by the worlds premier museums and art galleries on paintings by Picasso, Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Vermeer and Rembrandt to name a few.” In addition to all of our services we also have two artists who specialize in wall treatments such as faux finishes.

We have two well known muralists, one of which has worked internationally.They mainly work with museums and exhibitions, although they have had their work at the Worlds Fair and other science museums throughout the country. Our hand painted murals range in size from 4' by 6'to 18' by 40' and are done on canvas in the studio, and then shipped your site.

I have compiled a major portfolio of the top automotive artists both here and abroad, such as Roger Hector, Paul Dove, Stuart Booth, etc. We work with the artists as well as the publishers and commission art works for our clients, including custom automotive tapestries. We carefully assist our clients in obtaining unusual accent pieces such as Automobilia to compliment their art gallery.
