Daniel Arsham at the Petersen? Sonja Reid Takes Us Inside the VIP Preview

The Twitch phenom and car enthusiast brings va-va-voom energy to Los Angeles's buzziest exhibit opening.

There are few figures in the world who can boast being both a Forbes 30 Under 30 alum and one of Twitch’s most popular (and followed) females. However, Sonja Reid, better known as @omgitsfirefoxx does it all. She’s also a car enthusiast to boot. So who better than Reid to check out the Petersen Automotive Museum’s newest exhibition from contemporary phenom Daniel Arsham. Arsham Auto Motive furthers the artist’s exploration of the eroded—most notably in his full-size sculptures of a Porsche 911, Ferrari GT, and more. Below, Reid shares her snaps of the night including a fond farewell from a familiar face.
