BMW Art Cars

Rev your engines for BMW Art Cars

What does Andy Warhol, Alexander Calden, Frank Stella, or Ernst Fuchs have to do with BMW?

For almost 40 years, BMW has offered up a few of our top car models to be used by world-renowned artists as their canvas.

BMW Art Car by Jeff Koons


BMW Art Car by Alexander Calder


It all began in 1975, when French racecar driver Hervé Poulain asked his friend, American artist Alexander Calder, to paint the BMW 3.0CSL that he drove at Le Mans that year.

Since Hervé Poulain drove his famous car at Le Mans, there are 17 official BMW Art Cars, each with their own unique spirit that reflects the artist.
