| 'Since 1975, outstanding artists from across the globe have collaborated with BMW in their Art Car Collection. Reflecting the cultural development of art, design and technology, the series has seen the likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and David Hockney each make a unique artistic statement about the appearance and meaning of cars in their era.' |
‘Eliasson’s transformation of the H2R car is a powerful provocation to design and makes the viewer question their relationship between these horrific global changes and our individual acts.' As for the previous artists in the BMW Art Car Collection, they have been content with an 'ordinairy' paint job on the body of the car. |
Olafur Eliasson. Your mobile expectations: BMW H2R chassis, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, ice, and cooling unit; 145 x 535 x 250 cm.
Andy Warhol. BMW m1.
Robert Rauschenberg. BMW 635csi.
Ken Done. BMW m3.
Cesar Manrique. BMW 730i.
That first one is the car that Hedgehog-man drives. I thought it was a little over-stylized at first but once I saw it around town enough it grew on me. Also he saved my baby from a burning building.
