Although Gerry Judah’s latest creation is highly reminiscent of his previous work for Audi, the Alfa Romeo Centenary Sculpture is magnificent nonetheless.
Shaped in the form of the Italian marque’s iconic Cloverleaf badge, Judah wanted to celebrate the spirit of Alfa Romeo by showcasing two of the brand’s most important cars at the center of his work: the new Alfa 8C Competizione – the supercar which has won numerous international awards – and the Alfa P2 Grand Prix which won the Automobile World Championship in 1925.
“With such a vast and rich heritage, trying to encapsulate all that is great about Alfa Romeo was no easy task,” said Judah. “So many factors played a part in the creative process, from the beauty of the cars themselves which are often art forms in their own right, to the passion the marque shows and holds in so many hearts – I felt it was important that the sculpture complemented and expressed these messages.”
