Iconic: Art, Design, Advertising, and the Automobile

A celebration of the automobile as an object of design, innovation, and cultural influence, Iconic: Art, Design, Advertising, and the Automobile explores what transforms a remarkable car into an enduring icon.

Centered around the extraordinary collection of the Dare to Dream Automotive Museum, the book brings together some of the most celebrated automobiles of the past century—from the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL and Jaguar E-Type to Ferrari, Porsche, Ford, and modern supercars. Photography by Michael Furman captures each vehicle as a work of art, accompanied by histories from award-winning automotive author Ken Gross.

Beyond the automobiles themselves, Iconic explores the intersection of automotive design, art, and advertising, offering a visually striking look at the cars and ideas that have shaped automotive culture.

Written by Ken Gross and published by Assouline.
