"ICONS"



Title: "Icons" by Jay Koka, © 2026 90 x 70cm (36"w x 28"), acrylic on canvas

In 1968 this car made a brief but unforgettable appearance in the hit movie "The Thomas Crown Affair" directed by Norman Jewison, written by Alan R. Trustman... and starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.

This scene did not appear in the movie. This painting is a completely imagined moment ...but it is correct for the movie's time period. New York's Times Square is crossed by Dunaway as an amused, but interested, McQueen looks on.

Note that the car is depicted as it appeared in the movie... the original GT was modified with a GM "maroon" repaint, a streamlined rearview mirror and an antenna. The Ferrari 275 NART Spyder #09437 was the first one manufactured and it was delivered to Chinetti Motors in February 1967 finished in Giallo Solare (Sun Yellow) paint.

While the car is correct for the time-frame as presented, many, many artistic liberties were taken with the background. Although the street layout, architecture and advertising are period correct, advertisers and colors were moved around and executed to suit the painting.
