LET’S HEAR IT FOR BMW’S ART CARS

by hurricanevanessa on July 13, 2011

Esther Mahlangu's traditionally painted car is only one of 17 of BMW's specially commissioned "art cars."

This from Flavourwire: "Andy Warhol showed up with a full entourage but painted the car himself with 13 pounds of paint in 28 minutes flat and then asked for another one."

"Lichenstein imagined a blurring, bright landscape reflecting in a shiny, speeding car and interpreted the imagery in his signature style — dotty."

If I were Jenny Holzer, I would have put "protect me from what I want" on my BMW. But I'm not. And she didn't.

Matazo Kayama in foil and snowflakes.

"Rauschenberg lovingly referred to the car as a “virgin” and “beautified her” with layers of foil collage reflecting nature, the technical world and, naturally, classical nudity."

Frank Stella hadn't even a driver's licence when he designed this beaut.

Jeff Koons. What? No couplating porn stars? No inflated silver bunnies? That's a shame.

You can see the rest at Flavourwire.
