There are certain artists whose visual language is so instantly recognizable that you can spot their work from across the room —or, in this case, across a gallery floor attached to a Land Rover.

I recently stopped by Keith Haring in 3-D at Free Parking, a pop-up exhibition in the West Village dedicated to a lesser-discussed but wildly fun part of Keith Haring’s career: the objects he transformed beyond the canvas. While Haring is most famous for his subway drawings, radiant babies, barking dogs, and dancing figures that helped define downtown New York in the 1980s, this show focused on his three-dimensional works — including two of his rare painted art cars.

Surrounded by concept cars and futuristic EVst the 2026 New York International Auto Show, one of the biggest design surprises came from an unexpected place: the Toyota Camry.

The Camry GTS Concept reimagines the familiar sedan with a bold, race-inspired personality that feels both dramatic and surprisingly realistic. Built by Toyota CALTY Design Research and Toyota Motor Corporation, the concept explores what a performance-focused Camry might look like if it moved from design studio to showroom.

The result is striking. Finished in a vivid Inferno Flare orange with Midnight Black Metallic two-tone detailing, the Camry GTS Concept leans hard into motorsport aesthetics. The black hood adds visual weight and contrast, while the lowered stance gives the sedan a planted, ready-to-launch appearance.

The first car to enter MoMA’s collection, in 1972, the Cisitalia 202, designed in 1946 by Battista “Pinin” Farina (known as Pininfarina) is also the rarest – only approximately 170 of them are known to have been made. Continue reading Eye On Design: Cisitalia 202 GT Car

The Ruxton is one of the rarest and most unique automobiles of the Classic Era, combining innovative front-wheel-drive engineering with bold, avant-garde styling. Today, nearly three-quarters of all cars sold are front-wheel-drive, but during the late 1920s and early 1930s this drive layout was a foreign concept to most, except for a limited number of engineers and racing drivers.
