Emmanuel Zurini was born in France in 1942 and became famous in the 1960s 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 d'Elegance. 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.
