Original Artwork 1952 F1 Driver Giovanni Bracco racing the Ferrari 250 S.

Description: This is original artwork of Ferrari driver Giovanni Bracco driving the Ferrari 250 S in the 1952 Carrera Panamericana. This original artwork was created by the internationally acclaimed, automotive artist illustrator, Argentinian-born, Hector Luis Bergandi. Giovanni Bracco was one the leading official Ferrari factory drivers in 1952 along with Ascari, Bordoni, Farina, Scotti, Simon, Taruffi and Villoresi. “He won the 1952 Mille Miglia with an average speed of more than 80 MPH over the course, out-distancing the German teams of Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. It was a grueling race of 501 starters but only 275 finishers. ‘Enzo Ferrari praised Bracco’s victory . . . ‘probably the most spectacular success of all my racers’. Giovanni Bracco racing career was diversified having raced for Maserati, Lancia and Ferrari.” The artist, Hector Luis Bergandi, illustrated the Ferrari Piloti starting with the 1947 stable of official Ferrari drivers. Numerous Bergandi art Illustrations of the early Ferrari drivers were published in Rosso Ferrari Magazine issues numbers Seven and Nine, 1992 and 1993. Bergandi's interpretation of each Pilot is intense and exciting, capturing the true racing challenges of each driver and the Ferrari race car they drove. Provenance & Content Validation: My agency, Hank Forssberg Inc. Advertising handled the Advertising and Marketing for Ferrari North America from 1977 through 1995. During my 18-year relationship with Ferrari North America and Ferrari S.p.A., I accumulated an extensive collection of hundreds of Ferrari collectibles/memorabilia from Ferrari North America and from the Factory in Maranello, Italy. I personally recommended to Ferrari North America Management that they launch the introduction of the 348 Spider in Beverly Hills, California by closing off Rodeo Drive and having the first ever Ferrari Concours d’Elegance on Rodeo Drive as the highlight of the 1993 introduction of the 348 Spider. My agency designed and produced all of the marketing and advertising materials for the 348 Spider Introduction including the Poster, Letterhead and Envelopes, Invitations, Event Program, Parking Passes, Windshield ID’s, VIP Wrist Bands, 348 Spider Spec. Sheets, Etc. During my 18-year relationship with Ferrari, I was also the Editor of Rosso Ferrari Magazine. During my tenure, I edited and published 9 Issues from 1990 through 1993 including Issue number Eight – Ferrari Rodeo Drive. As the Editor of Rosso Ferrari Magazine, I commissioned internationally acclaimed, automotive artist/illustrator, Hector Luis Bergandi to create original Ferrari Car Art Illustrations to be featured in Rosso Ferrari Issues. As a result of my relationship with Mr. Bergandi, I also commissioned him to design a poster for the 348 Spider Rodeo Drive Introduction.
