Vauxhall have turned to some of the UK’s leading artists to help motorists fill the gap left by the demise of the tax disc.
The manufacturer has commissioned a set of limited edition artworks designed to be displayed in the place on car windscreens where, until the law changed on 1 October, the road tax disc would have been displayed.
The project, titled Pretty Taxing, is part of the annual Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair, and includes contributions from leading figures of the UK art world including Sir Peter Blake, Gavin Turk, Pam Hogg, Mat Collishaw, Sarah Lucas, Jessica Albarn, Gary Hume, Ian Dawson, Abigail Lane, Ian Monroe, Matthew Barney, Don Brown and Georgie Hopton.
The designs reflect the individual style of each artist, from Sir Peter Blake's pop art to Pam Hogg's rock and roll fashion motifs, and every example includes a certificate of authenticity and a circular artwork, both of which are uniquely hand numbered. Each piece of circular artwork comes inserted into a Pretty Taxing tax disc holder, which sticks to any glass surface so you can continue to display them on your windscreen or at home.
The artworks are available at http://artcarbootfair.com/archive/007pages/shop/shop-home.html priced from £40.
Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair founder and curator, Karen Ashton, commented, "Windscreen adornments are somehow intrinsic to the iconography of the car, now you can curate your own windscreen with custom made limited edition artworks from Pretty Taxing!", while Denis Chick, Director of Communications at Vauxhall Motors added, " The Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair is always about the unexpected and making art accessible. The Pretty Taxing series of tax disc artworks are an eye-catching in-car accessory, giving people the opportunity to take their artwork on the road with them."
