This fully accessorized Mini-Z race car set, designed and customized by Tom Sachs, engages with issues of production and consumption, reflecting his interest in appropriating and remixing everyday cultural objects. // Deluxe Racing Set by Tom Sachs, created in 2003, is a mixed-media sculpture that humorously critiques consumer culture through the lens of DIY aesthetics. The piece is a boxed race car kit, illustrated with hand-drawn sketches and labels on its surface, depicting various components such as the controller, antenna, and body parts. Sachs uses these annotated drawings to parody commercial packaging, engaging the viewer with his interest in production and consumption. By transforming everyday objects into art, Sachs invites reflection on the value placed on consumer goods and the relationship between branded items and personal creativity.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
