Every sheet is a multiple original. In the case of the red version, the banana on each sheet is hand-drawn by me; in the dark version, it is the jet of flame that shoots out of the rear of the car. Each sheet is unique and part of these consistent editions, limited to a number of only 34 (dark) or 17 (red) pieces. Printed on Edition Duerer® high quality textured drawing paper. Exactly the very paper I use for drawing.

About the work:
With this work I returned to one of my favorite works. The 'FAT 313'. A "fusion satire" or parody and at the same time homage to Donald Duck himself, his no less famous '313', the artists Maurizio Cattelan, Erwin Wurm, Manfred Deix and last but not least, duck father Carl Barks. In my original work (from 2020/2021), I had taped Donald Duck Cattelan's famous banana to the cap and the FAT 313, based on Erwin Wurm's fat car, simply stood fat and silent on its wheels.
Here, in this reboot of the parody, things have literally started moving, I wanted to see the FAT 313 drive. Among other things, the radiator grille now resembles a turbine engine and the banana sticks to the outside wall of the chassis to increase the value of the vehicle. Hence the title 'The Six Million Dollar Car' (6MDC).

The Dark Matter Version of the 6MDC: I followed the idea of trying to create my own alter ego version of Donald Duck. Which then led to Donald Dark. The difference to Donald's other alter egos is that he is not aware of this when he changes into the Donald Dark character. Similar to Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. And what better way to illustrate the transformation than to extend it to the 313.
