DAVID MANN LEGACY FOUNDATION
PRESERVING THE ART. HONORING THE LEGACY. INSPIRING THE FUTURE.
For more than half a century, David Mann's artwork has served as the visual heartbeat of American motorcycle culture. His paintings captured more than motorcycles. They captured the people, the freedom, the friendships, and the spirit of a lifestyle that continues to inspire riders around the world.
ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
From his early collaborations with Ed “Big Daddy” Roth to the iconic paintings that would influence generations of builders, artists, and enthusiasts, David Mann created a body of work that became woven into the fabric of motorcycle history.
The David Mann Legacy Foundation was established to ensure that legacy is preserved for generations to come.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Foundation is dedicated to protecting David Mann's artwork, preserving the historical archives surrounding his life and career, and sharing his story through exhibitions, educational programs, publications, and community events. Working closely with David's family, collectors, historians, artists, and the motorcycle community, we are committed to safeguarding this important chapter of American motorcycling.
We believe that preserving David Mann's work is about more than honoring one artist. It is about protecting the history of an entire culture.
Every painting, photograph, sketch, and story helps tell the story of the men and women who built the custom motorcycle movement and the lifestyle that grew around it. By preserving these works today, we ensure that future generations will understand where this culture came from and why it continues to matter.
