Toys N' Tiny Buses: Gallery 1988 Celebrates Hot Wheels 40th
By LA2DAY FOR LA2DAY.COM 26 Mar 2008
Entertain your inner child with Gallery 1988's new exhibit celebrating Hot Wheels' 40th Birthday.
In honor of this stupendous event, this quirky retro art gallery went ahead and commissioned 40 artist-re-envisioned toy VW Micro Buses. If a fleet of tiny buses designed by some of today's top modern artists doesn't do it for you, there will also be full-sized, toy-inspired work. Maybe a grinning Japanese bbq grill with an engine on its back, or a painting of a Care Bear king riding a wizard-capped snail is more your speed.
If you're an old fuddy duddy hipster who hates children and all things magical, at least you'll find comfort in the free booze opening night.
