How about a stroll through Zurich these days, combined with a visit to a special exhibition on the subject of motor racing? At the Foxx Gallery, exciting motifs from the international history of Swiss motor racing can be admired until the weekend.

Major exhibitions in Europe
Bernd Luz's racing motifs can already be seen in many international automobile museums. These include the world's largest vehicle museum, the Musée de l'Automobile National - Collection Schlumpf in Mulhouse, France, and the largest German two-wheeler museum in Neckarsulm.

Homage to the legendary time of the Swiss Formula 1 races in Bern-Bremgarten.

Last year, Luz wowed visitors with a major exhibition on the theme of "Legends of Le Mans" at the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg. Currently, there is also a roadshow through the most important vehicle museums in Italy: Mille Miglia Museum, Ferrari Museum in Maranello, Monza...

Colorful implementation
Bernd Luz conducted intensive research for his motifs and then implemented them colorfully in poster style using a mixed media technique. For example, he focuses on Jo Siffert, the successes of the Sauber-Mercedes team in 1989 and Neel Jani in 2016 with Porsche at Le Mans. Luz also focuses on the Swiss GP.

The triumph of Porsche and Neel Jani at Le Mans 2016 is also immortalized by Bernd Luz.

The most recent motif is Rebellion Racing's entry in the 24 Hours of Le Mans last June.

The background information on each PopArt can be found directly on your smartphone using a QR code.

The exhibition at the Foxx Gallery at Rämistrasse 33 (near Bellvue) will run until next Saturday, July 21.
