Lichtenstein. Warhol. Koons. Stella. Calder. Rauschenberg. Holzer. El\u00edasson. Since a BMW 3.0 CSL painted by Alexander Calder lined up for the Le Mans 24-hour race 40 years ago in 1975, the BMW Art Car Collection has fascinated both art and design enthusiasts as well as car and technology fans all around the world.<\/p>\n

Since the invention of the motor car, artists have drawn inspiration from the thrill of speed, from the phenomenon of mobility and from racing cars as examples of modern sculpture. Since 1975, BMW Art Cars have been a central feature of this story.<\/p>\n

The idea behind the BMW Art Cars was the brainchild of French racing driver and art enthusiast Herv\u00e9 Poulain: 40 years ago, Poulain asked artist friend Alexander Calder to apply his creative talents to his race car. Together with Jochen Neerpasch, then BMW Motorsport Director, the first BMW Art Car was born \u2013 and it became an instant crowd\u2019s favourite on the race track. Since then, new additions to the BMW Art Car Collection have been made over the years at irregular intervals, with unique works of art from artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney and Jeff Koons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BMW Art Cars provide an exciting landmark at the interface where cars, technology, design, art and motor sport meet,\u201d reflected Maximilian Sch\u00f6berl, Senior Vice President, Corporate and Governmental Affairs, BMW Group. \u201cThe 40-year history of our \u2018rolling sculptures\u2019 is as unique as the artists who created them. The BMW Art Cars are an essential element and core characteristic of our global cultural engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 40th anniversary celebrations got under way with exhibitions in Hong Kong, at the Centre Pompidou, the BMW Museum and the Concorso d\u2019Eleganza at Lake Como, where the first four BMW Art Cars by Alexander Calder, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, plus the M3 GT2 created by Jeff Koons, were all on display. Further presentations are set to follow later in 2015 in New York, Miami and Shanghai.<\/p>\n

The group of seventeen artists who have designed BMW models so far since 1975 is very international, and interest in the \u201crolling sculptures\u201d has spread all around the world. Several cars are usually on display at the BMW Museum in Munich, the home of the BMW Art Cars, as part of its permanent collection. The remaining BMW Art Cars are travelling the globe \u2013 to art fairs in Los Angeles, London and Hong Kong, as well as exhibitions at the Louvre, the Guggenheim and the Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai.<\/p>\n

To date, many of the BMW Art Cars have not only turned heads in museums, but have also \u2013 in their earlier life \u2013 done so on the race track: Alexander Calder (BMW 3.0 CSL, 1975), Frank Stella (BMW 3.0 CSL, 1976), Roy Lichtenstein (BMW 320 Group 5, 1977), Andy Warhol (BMW M1 Group 4, 1979), Ernst Fuchs (BMW 635CSi, 1982), Robert Rauschenberg (BMW 635CSi, 1986), Michael Jagamara Nelson (BMW M3 Group A, 1989), Ken Done (BMW M3 Group A, 1989), Matazo Kayama (BMW 535i, 1990), C\u00e9sar Manrique (BMW 730i, 1990), A. R. Penck (BMW Z1, 1991), Esther Mahlangu (BMW 525i, 1991), Sandro Chia (BMW M3 GTR, 1992), David Hockney (BMW 850CSi, 1995), Jenny Holzer (BMW V12 LMR, 1999), \u00d3lafur El\u00edasson (BMW H2R, 2007) and Jeff Koons (BMW M3 GT2, 2010).<\/p>\n
