New York, NY — November 18, 2025 — In a move set to redefine the boundaries of digital fine art, The Lost Tesla Art Car Project has announced an exclusive partnership with Axiom Art to present the world’s first museum-grade holographic display of a lost artwork preserved on blockchain , an unprecedented convergence of legacy, technology, and innovation.
At the center of this collaboration lies the Gartel X Tesla Art Car #1 , a singular digital relic created by L. Gartel, the Father of Digital Art and mentor to Andy Warhol. The piece originates from Tesla’s first-ever Art Car, commissioned by Tesla Motors in 2010 and designed by Gartel himself. The physical car has long been lost, but the Gartel X Tesla Art Car #1 NFT endures as the sole surviving trace of that historic creation — the only known instance of lost on-chain and off-chain art. Traces of its journey remain permanently preserved in a 2022 press release archived by the British Library, securing its place in digital-art history.
Under this exclusive partnership, Axiom Art will debut a holographic installation of the NFT — a full-scale, museum-grade experience merging blockchain-authenticated provenance with next-generation holographic projection technology. This marks the first time a lost physical artwork has been reintroduced to the world through digital preservation and immersive display.
A spokesperson for The Lost Tesla Art Car Project stated, “The Axiom Art collaboration represents more than an art display, it’s an act of resurrection. A lost Tesla, a lost era, reborn through light and blockchain.”
With this unveiling, The Lost Tesla Art Car Project positions itself at the forefront of cultural preservation and technological avant-garde, using its platform to highlight visionary innovators and companies shaping the future of art and science — honoring the inventive spirit of Nikola Tesla and the creative renegades who continue to channel his legacy.
