For years, reknowned artist Ron Burton was one of the most connected individuals in motorsports, and during his 50-year heyday he created spectacular original artwork of IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA and Formula 1 drivers, races and signature moments.
Burton began painting in the 1960s, and he once wrote that he "loved, lived and painted auto racing and auto racing art in the shadows of the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway."
Many of Burton's paintings and trophy designs are enshrined in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and others reside in the halls of corporations that sponsored the sport. Drivers and fans around the world own and/or have commissioned his work, and much of it can be viewed at IMS. His work comes in acrylics or oils, impressionist or realism, and line art montages, large, medium or small.
Burton has been retired for several years, and Hall of Fame Collection recently acquired the entire Ron Burton Collection, including the original artwork, prints and helmets. We are currently celebrating his 50-year involvement in the sport with all available items now at great new prices on our website.
The original artwork is of many of the sport's legendary stars: Jim Clark, Graham Hill, A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Richard Petty, to name a few.
Some of the remaining pieces feature memorable races and moments, such as Jody Scheckter's 1979 World Championship and Stewart and Clark dueling in the 1966 Indianapolis 500. Burton created a fantastic piece of art of Alan Jones winning F1's World Championship in 1980, and of course he created scenes from IMS races such as the "500" and NASCAR's Brickyard 400.
There are also unique prints of Burton's that have been discovered.
Burton's helmet collection was one of the finest in the world, and it includes USAC's sprint and midget divisions, drag racing of many levels, late model dirt track racing, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, even record-setters at the famed Bonneville Salt Flats. Those that remain are available through this special offer.
