During Miami Art Week, one installation stood out for its clarity of intent and striking physical presence. Sanctified, a full-scale stained-glass Ferrari Testarossa by artist Anthony Hart, reimagines the 1980s classic as a modern symbol of cultural devotion.

Designed by Pininfarina and produced from 1984 to 1991, the Ferrari Testarossa, fitted with a mid-mounted 12-cylinder engine, became a defining icon of its era. Its wide stance, dramatic side strakes and instantly recognisable proportions gave it poster-car status, making it an ideal vessel for Hart’s reinterpretation.

The concept has been with Hart for nearly five years. The final piece, measuring 44 inches high, 176 inches long and 77 inches wide, is constructed from aluminium, glass and resin, with each panel crafted and assembled by hand. When illuminated, the sculpture evokes the glow of cathedral windows, reinforcing Hart’s central theme. “The things we chase — success, status, ownership, luxury — they’ve become our modern symbols of devotion,” he said.

For Hart, who has spent more than a decade creating visuals for musicians and brands, Sanctified marks his transition into a standalone artistic voice. It is also the first piece from a larger body of work he intends to reveal next year.
