The Otis Maybach - Otis is the 2012 Grammy Award winning track from the collaborative album Watch the Throne, a raucous and unapologetic celebration of the “good life” from two music legends: JAY Z and Kanye West.
The Spike Jonze-directed video for Otis, has the two MCs deconstructing a glistening Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH, transforming the penultimate luxury car into a play-thing, a Frankenstein muscle car – not for the faint of heart and most certainly not street-legal. On 8 March 2012, Phillips de Pury & Company will offer the Otis Maybach as Lot 1 of their Contemporary Art Evening Sale in New York, with all proceeds going to Save the Children. Proceeds will be donated towards the East African drought disaster. See Lot Details.

And the car… against the backdrop of an oversized American flag and fireworks finale, the reincarnated Maybach becomes a new kind of trophy, not the spotless, garage-kept Sunday special, but a “thundersome cruiser” at the intersection of contemporary culture, hip hop, and modern Americana.
