Fine Art on Wheels

Jubileum

De geselecteerde auto's tonen hoe kunst, autosport en design sinds 1975 op unieke wijze samenkomen in de BMW Art Car Collection. Voor deze jubileumeditie selecteerde het Louwman Museum acht exemplaren die samen een reis door de moderne kunstgeschiedenis vormen — op vier wielen.

Alexander Calder – BMW 3.0 CSL (1975)
“I wanted to give the car a sense of speed. Even when standing still, it should look fast.”

Frank Stella – BMW 3.0 CSL (1976) “The car is a blueprint brought to life.”

Roy Lichtenstein – BMW 320i Gruppe 5 (1977)
“I wanted the car to express the idea of a landscape passing by.”

Andy Warhol – BMW M1 (1979)
“I love that car. It’s more successful than the artwork.”

César Manrique – BMW 730i (1990)
“I see the car as a part of nature, harmonizing with its surroundings.”

Esther Mahlangu – BMW 525i (1991)
“My art has always been part of my life. It is my way of telling stories.”

David Hockney – BMW 850 CSi (1995)
“You can see the car’s innards – the engine, the driver. It's about showing what’s underneath.”

Jeff Koons – BMW M3 GT2 (2010)
The car is bursting with energy. It’s meant to express the power and excitement of racing.”
