She responds to my every command and desire,
Her innards are fueled by such powerful fire.
Each one of my limbs stirs her up from inside,
Though she’ll shake me up good if I can’t make her ride.
I Love her, I lube her, I wipe her with towels,
She purrs, she howls, she hums, she growls.
My Lovebug, my Honey, my Misses, my Babe,
My Sugar, my Sweet Thing, my Master, my Slave.
A car’s a machine made of metal and rubber,
But my car’s my lover… you go find another.
—Benjamin Berlow

 

COOPER CLASSICS COLLECTION
The Cooper Classics Collection houses contemporary art and classic cars in a refined gallery setting. Elliot Cuker conceived this event space/gallery infused with classic cars as rolling sculptures in 1978, and it has since become a unique part of the cultural milieu of New York City's Greenwich Village.

Recent gallery exhibitions include a show of photographs by Lou Reed, the photographs of Mick Rock, and the paintings of Guggenheim Fellowship winner Robert Pentelovitch.

As a gala space, Cooper Classics has hosted the kickoff party for The New Yorker Arts Festival, a fashion show for Buckler Jeans, and the New Yorkers Against Gun Violence’s benefit in honor of Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy. Next month, Cooper Classics will host Vanity Fair's party to celebrate the premiere of HBO's "Angels in America.”
