ASPREY BUGATTI ONE-OF-ONE “LA VOITURE NOIRE” SCULPTURE AND NFT AUCTIONED

The magic of the finest artworks never diminishes, even of those that may now be lost to history. The Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, created by the French luxury brand founder’s eldest son, Jean Bugatti, represented the pinnacle of elegance and sophistication in the pre-war era. Just four examples were built. 

The fourth Bugatti Atlantic, the missing all-black “La Voiture Noire”, has acquired near-mythical status. Seven decades after it vanished, the iconic car influenced Bugatti’s designers and engineers to create one of the most unique vehicles of the modern age: the one-of-one La Voiture Noire hyper sports car in 2019. Now, the contemporary Bugatti La Voiture Noire provides the inspiration for an equally exclusive Asprey Bugatti one-of-one masterpiece.

“This is the first masterpiece derived from the Asprey Bugatti partnership, following the hugely successful sell out of the smaller 261 collection, inspired by pop art and the current digital art movement. The NFT enables the artwork to link to two physical sculptures in the blockchain, preserving provenance and authenticity. The NFT is a secondary feature that simply enables the sculpture and artworks to co-exist together in a unique narrative, a moment in history for the art of Asprey and Bugatti.”

Ali Walker, Asprey Studio’s Chief Creative Officer

Asprey Bugatti masterpiece, La Voiture Noire, celebrates the collaboration of two historic brands. Throughout history, both companies have used technology to empower their artisans to push boundaries and create masterpieces. 

“This exclusive partnership with Asprey will enable Bugatti customers and enthusiasts to enjoy our design values from a new perspective through this stunning Masterpiece. Featuring a Bugatti masterpiece at a prestigious contemporary art auction using NFT technology to fuse the art and the sculptures, embodies the spirt of innovation at Bugatti”

Wiebke Stahl, Managing Director of Bugatti International
