New Exhibition at Getty Images: Freeze the Speed

Getty Images Gallery is delighted to announce ‘Freeze the Speed’, the latest exhibition at the company’s Oxford Circus gallery. Power, passion, glamour - motor racing has it all, and for over 50 years, the photographer Rainer Schlegelmilch has captured the drama at race tracks around the world.

Presented with a unique ‘Bernie Pass’ by F1 supremo, Bernie Ecclestone, Schlegelmilch’s work takes us into the pits, eavesdropping on owners and drivers, amongst the mechanics in the garages and then trackside for all the action. His work reflects both the evolution of motor racing and advances in photographic technology as he constantly pushes himself to find new and exciting ways of portraying the sport. This exhibition includes work from his very first race in 1962, to his stunning contemporary abstracts.

Louise Garczewska, Director of Getty Images Gallery, says “In the run up to the 2014 F1 season, we are delighted to represent this iconic collection and bring it to a wider audience through this latest touring exhibition.”
