Art in the Fast Lane American Fine Art Talks Fine Art and Fast Cars written by Nick Esquer Many people admire and collect art, but very few families truly love and appreciate art in every form, one of these select families is the Koss family. Their gallery, American Fine Art, Inc. in Old Town Scottsdale (3908 North Scottsdale Rd.), is a 12,000 square foot gallery for 19th, 20th, and 21st century European and American masters such as Picasso, Dali, Warhol, Miro, and Banksy to name a few where one can experience the artwork with world class art consultants to help guide them when investing and collecting fine art. The gallery features every media the artists worked in and in nearly every price range. Original paintings, serigraphs, lithographs, drawings, sculptures, and unique hand-blown glass are all on display for acquisition.

to offering up creative takes on other passion projects. Their idea was to take cars and transform them into rolling works of art. A whole lineup of exotic cars has been carefully wrapped in beautiful artwork that brings the cars to life in ways most have never experienced before. Commissioned through the galley, the car wraps that American Fine Art has brought to life over the years have presented thought-provoking, original, and unique art themes on four wheels. Whether it is Frederick Mellinger and his fashions and pin up girls, Andy Warhol and the endangered species, his Myths, and Ads collections, or Andy’s favorite the dollar sign collection. Each car and specially designed wrap start with a theme and focus about the artist and their vision.
