Ghost Car (1958 Plymouth Fury)

2026

A cast aluminium sculpture of a 1958 Plymouth Fury rendered as a ghostly, dematerialized form that explores the iconic American automobile as a symbol of power and cultural identity. The work transforms a classic mid-century vehicle into an ethereal presence, stripping it of its original materiality while preserving its distinctive silhouette and presence. Through this ethereal translation, Longo examines themes of nostalgia, American mythology, and the relationship between consumer culture and national identity. The sculpture embodies the artist's longstanding interest in hyperrealism and the tension between representation and abstraction.
