Grand Prix Automobile De Monaco Posters: The Complete Collection: The Art, the Artists and the Competition, 1929-2009

An initially-reluctant collector presents his complete collection of posters created for the Grand Prix Automobile de Monaco (1929- 2009), the most glamorous of the Formula One races, and related events. To provide context on the annual events and colorful posters over the 80-year period, he consulted with some of the artists and drivers regarding the art, race, and the world they reflect. He traces the Grand Prix's origin to 1911, when the Automobile Club de Monaco held its first race. The book includes a summary table of the artists and winners.
