Emmanuel Zurini was born in France in 1942 and became famous in the 1960’s as one of the leading photographers of Grand Prix motor-racing. His exciting work was frequently adapted and used as artwork for some of the most memorable Grand Prix and Le Mans 24-hour race posters of that period. A trained artist, he turned to sculpture in 1975 and for the last 40 years has developed a reputation as the most innovative sculptor of stylized automotive bronzes worldwide. He has created numerous trophies for Formula 1 teams and personalities, as well as the Pebble Beach Concours.
His bronzes – when available – are widely collected and devotees of his bronzes include Jacques Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher and Flavio Briatore. Usually cast in editions of 8 only, Zurini bronzes often sell out as soon as they are announced.
