As the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles opens its doors to the public after undergoing massive renovations, BMW will exhibit three Art Cars throughout 2016 in the Armand Hammer Foundation Gallery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BMW Art Car collection contains a diverse array of unique artistic approaches from the last 40 years,\u201d said Thomas Girst, Head of Cultural Engagement at the BMW Group.\u201cThese \u2018rolling sculptures\u2019 represent the core of BMW Group\u2019s global cultural initiatives, and we are pleased to showcase some of these impressive works in our new gallery space at the Petersen Automotive Museum.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BMW 3.0 CSL painted by Alexander Calder in 1975, the first in the now iconic series of BMW Art Cars, and the BMW 850i CSi painted by Los Angeles local David Hockney in 1995 will be on display at the museum\u2019s opening. Alongside his BMW Art Car, the gallery will also exhibit the BMW Art Car maquette done by David Hockney. A maquette is a scale model that BMW provides the artists so they can work on their project prior to creating the full scale Art Car. These maquettes are essentially three dimensional rough sketches to help the artist understand how their designs and vision would translate onto the body of the automobile. Later in 2016, the BMW Art Car painted by Matazo Kayama in 1990 will be displayed.<\/p>\n

Also on display will be a Z4 Roadster used by artist Robin Rhode in 2009 to create BMW’s marketing epithet, \u201cAn Expression of Joy<\/a>\u201d. In 2009, to help launch the second generation BMW Z4 Roadster, Rhode utilized the car\u2019s tires to apply paint to a large canvass, as he directed a driver where to steer the vehicle.<\/p>\n
