PRODUCTION-USED BATMOBILE MAQUETTE

Batman, 1989
Warner Bros, USA
Design: Julian Caldow
76.5 × 32 × 17 cm

Provenance:
Private collection, Switzerland

A Batmobile maquette from the production of Tim Burton’s 1989 film adaptation of the DC Comics character. Portrayed by Michael Keaton, Batman used his jet-propelled, heavily armoured Batmobile to speed through the streets of Gotham City in pursuit of criminals.

Conceptual illustrator Julian Caldow and production designer Anton Furst designed the Batmobile, Batwing and assorted bat-gadgets that were later constructed by prop builder John Evans. On designing the Batmobile, Furst explained, 'We looked at jet aircraft components, we looked at war machines, we looked at all sorts of things. In the end, we went into pure expressionism, taking the Salt Flat Racers of the 30s and the Sting Ray macho machines of the 50s'. The car was finally built upon a Chevrolet Impala when previous attempts with a Jaguar and a Ford Mustang failed.

This hollow production-used maquette is a single large piece of moulded fibreglass, with a smoothed exterior and painted black. A maquette is used by animators and directors to visualise their two-dimensional character and vehicle sketches in a three-dimensional manner.

It is in good overall condition with minor wear from handling and age, including some scuffs to the finish, as well as a few chips and cracks on the underside and on the rear.
