One of the two sold for more than $40,000.
Since 1744, Sotheby’s has been the largest and most dynamic marketplace in the world for luxury and art. Sotheby’s is a great place to start if you’re looking for unique artifacts or art pieces to add to your collection.
The Boundless space: The Possibilities Of Burning Man was the featured item at this year’s art auction house. It’s a charity sale featuring artifacts from previous Burning Man events. Since you’re reading this from an automotive website, we know what we found: three crazy cars which sold for a substantial sum.
The Rocket Car is my personal favorite. The Rocker Car, which was built from an original 1973 Cadillac Sedan DeVille is perhaps the most rational-looking of all the art cars up for sale at the auction.
Despite this, Best was granted some exceptions, such as the Black Rock City’s Department of Mutant Vehicles’ requirement that the cars be completely different from their production counterparts. Although it may not appear so, the Rocket Car can seat 16 people – at least that’s what it was shown in a Burning Man event.
David Best’s Rocket Car sold for $36,000
Ryan C. Doyle’s Motor City Survivor, Built For Black Rock gained traction well beyond Burning Man. This strange-looking art car was created in response to the protests of the summer 2020. It was mounted on a road-registered Honda Civic and rolled down an avenue in Detroit. It was hammered at $24,000.
The Mayan Warrior sold for $40,320. It was the most expensive art car concept to be sold at the charity auction. The sculpted mask measures 13 by 11 feet and was constructed of fiberglass resin on a steel frame. It is a representation of the Mayan teachings that included sacred rituals and mysticism as well as self-discovery.
