American artist Jeff Koons\u2019 BMW M3 GT2 Art Car really caught the eye in France.<\/p>\n<p>While the no. 78 BMW M3 GT2, with drivers J\u00f6rg M\u00fcller (DE), Augusto Farfus (BR) and Uwe Alzen (DE), finished sixth in the LM GT2 class, the no. 79 BMW Art Car,with Dirk Werner (DE), Dirk M\u00fcller (DE) and Andy Priaulx (GB) at the wheel, had to retire early. Although Andy Priaulx (GB) should have been able to finish the lap without any problems, based on the amount of fuel calculated to have been put into the car at the previous pit stop, he ran out of fuel on the way into the Indianapolis curve. Car number 79 had already lost a lot of time due to unscheduled pit stops for repairs.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Koons drew a very positive conclusion from the endurance classic at the \u201cCircuit de la Sarthe\u201d, as he reveals in this interview.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr Koons, unfortunately the Le Mans 24 Hours didn\u2019t go the way all BMW fans had hoped for with the BMW Art Car. Did you still enjoy the experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jeff Koons: \u201cThis race has been a very invigorating experience. It\u2019s amazing to see the commitment of all the people involved. The fans sleep in tents and stay awake for far more than 24 hours to celebrate this event. This has me really going, as I understand that it is something truly special for all the people to be here. It\u2019s unfortunate that the BMW M3 GT2 Art Car had to retire early, but it\u2019s part of racing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you feel for the team you got to know well over the course of the Art Car project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Koons: \u201cYes, I would have loved to see the team win, but it wasn\u2019t to be. I know how committed they are and how much precision and care they put into their work. Of course we would have loved to see the car win. I would love to give it another chance and have it compete again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Power and dynamics are just two of the catchwords in motor racing. Do these terms also appear in the sphere of modern arts?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Koons: \u201cYes, there are many parallels. Everything is a metaphor for human life. If we build machines, it\u2019s all metaphoric for our own bodies. These race cars are like gladiators out there. They are performing with full power and full impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Usually you create pieces of art that are made to last. The BMW M3 GT2 Art Car, however, went out into a fight against rivals on the track. Was this a new experience for you to see your art in danger?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Koons: \u201cThat was really interesting for me and obviously a part of it. This project has felt so special to me, and working on it reminded me of human history. A history that you can trust the most is almost a biological narrative, it\u2019s our DNA. From the beginning of time to now. What people experience here is that life doesn\u2019t go so much through its physical form, but through the experience that is generated within people.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:
