Rolling Sculptures The Art of Harley-Davidson at Milwaukee Art Museum

Rolling Sculptures: The Art of Harley-Davidson
Milwaukee Art Museum
August 1 - September 14, 2003

Rolling Sculptures: The Art of Harley-Davidson is the first museum-quality presentation to explore the timeless design and styling of America's most iconic motorcycles. Developed and curated by Harley-Davidson Motor Company as part of its official 100th Anniversary activities, with guidance from Willie G. Davidson, Harley's senior vice president of styling and grandson of one of the company's founders, the exhibition includes rare renderings, models and drawings that have never been seen before by the public. 

Often referred to as "rolling sculptures," Harley-Davidson motorcycles are recognized around the world for their stunning visual appeal. This exhibition explores the artistry that is the essence of the Milwaukee motorcycle maker's products, and features a number of important milestones in the company's rich design history. The milestones include the development of highly styled "factory customs" first introduced in the 1970s; the creation of tank designs, logos and other graphics; and the development of the new V-Rod line which adds a new dimension to the famous Harley-Davidson look.
