BMW models are masterpieces. The BMW Art Cars are actually real works of art! Each one was designed by a world-famous artist. Whether it's Andy Warhol's BMW M1, Jenny Holzer and the BMW V12 LMR and the BMW 320i Turbo or Jeff Koon's BMW M3 GT2 – every single one has given its own signature artistic interpretation to the BMW design. In the permanent exhibition Art Cars at the BMW Museum discover BMW models as you haven't seen them before.
Now at the BMW Museum.
"Drivable museums would be great. This car is a dream come true to me.“ -Robert Rauschenberg
Robert Rauschenbergs BMW 635 CSi 1986.
The sixth BMW Art Car was designed by American Pop Art pioneer Robert Rauschenberg. For this BMW 635 CSi, Rauschenberg combined photographically processed artworks into his signature collages and applied them to the coupé’s bodywork. In doing so, he incorporated a wide range of motifs from art history — Bronzino, Ingres, antique plates, as well as photographs of natural subjects. The result is a rolling black-and-white collage that unites past and present, powerfully expressing the concept of the vehicle as a mobile work of art.
