MARYLYN DINTENFASS PARALLEL PARK is the first book to document Marylyn Dintenfass' life-long love affair with automobiles, especially the culturally iconic high-powered, sporty, sexy muscle cars that streamed out of Detroit from the late 1950's to the mid-1970's. The book critically explores how Dintenfass' drawings, monotypes and paintings are the genesis for
Parallel Park — a 30,000 square foot, site-specific installation, wrapping the four facades of The Lee County Justice Center Parking Garage in Fort Myers, Florida. It is one of the largest and most transformative art installations in the United States of the past decade.
