Daniel Arsham has shared a photo of his one-to-one scaled 1968 Ford Mustang GT replica, which is based on the car featured in Steve McQueen’s classic film Bullitt.
Arsham’s signature crystal erosion details of volcanic ash, pyrite crystal, and white quartz are spread across the exteriors and interior seats of the true-to-size model, which was created in collaboration with the film’s prop masters.
The Mustang was first shown as a scale replica at Arsham’s “Turning Wrenches” exhibition at Library Street Collective in Detroit, alongside a Ferrari 250 GT from the ’80s comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the iconic DMC DeLorean from Back to the Future, and one of Arsham’s favorite cars, the Porsche 911 Turbo re-interpreted as a Porsche 930A.
The sculptures are meant to be a reflection on the beauty of natural evolution and decomposition over time. Catch it in person at Library Street Collective in Detroit
