SAM BASS
Sam Bass is the pre-eminent painter of NASCAR Nextel Cup racing and drivers. His energetic, multi-image paintings forged close relationships with top drivers such as Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace. Though his art is well known, few people realise that Sam is responsible for the liveries and team uniforms of nearly half the cars on the grid. In his first retrospective, Sam recounts his favourite paintings, shares driver stories, and explains the background to his seldom discussed design work.
