Porter Press – The Michael Turner Collection

For more than 50 years, renowned motor sport and aviation artist Michael Turner produced an annual set of paintings depicting stand-out moments from that year’s Formula One and sports car season. The paintings were reproduced as a set of Christmas cards and retailed through Michael’s own company, Studio 88, which he formed in 1963. Over the years, these cards became highly-collectable to the extent that, in 1992, Michael’s wife, Helen, formed a Collectors’ Club which quickly gained a worldwide membership.

Now, for the first time, the entire collection of cards produced between 1960 and 2016 is reproduced together in the book, ‘The Michael Turner Collection’, written by Chas Parker in conjunction with Michael. Each card is reproduced on high-quality paper, together with its original caption, a brief synopsis of the event depicted, and Michael’s recollections of why he chose that particular subject and setting.
