Larusmiani Part VI - artist signature - Bertrand Lavier

Per Facebook post:  

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/12KYMWDEvWs/

Bertrand Lavier, the world renowned contemporary French artist celebrated for his mastery in reinterpreting the concept of ready-made: with his innovative approach, Lavier transforms everyday objects, challenging the traditional boundaries of art and functionality.
Such as this @ferrari 365 GT4 2+2, part of Pierre Marnier Lapostolle Samon collection. Completed in about ten years, this is one of only three art cars by Bertrand Lavier, another one is @mercedesbenzmuseum , and the third at the Car Collection of the Prince of Monaco @palaisprincierdemonaco
Yesterday the artist paid a visit to LARUSMIANI The Automotive Gallery and signed & dated the work right on the dashboard of the Ferrari.
Merci Maestro!

Dutch book : Krotenkokers - Ferrari 400GT

When browsing around on Google this Dutch book showed up.  When inspecting insde it had indeed a small episode about the Ferrari 400GT, being used as an escape car. It's indeed a rare manual version with a full tank and keys inside, so very easy to steal :-)  

For those interested find hereby the link and screenshots below via Google Books:

I looked up the writer and found him on Linkedin. And remarkably he has got 400 connections. I'm not making this up:
