Happy birthday to
#BMWArtCar artist Jeff Koons! 🎂 🎉
Â
Koons designed the 17th edition of BMW Art Car with a multi-colored skin on the
#BMWM3 GT2, and it was unveiled to the world at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in June 2010 — to great acclaim!
Â
Koons’s design incorporates many bright contrasting colors to communicate the aesthetics of power. The concept design was transformed into hard-edged lines of color, simulating the power of the car. Also, the car bears the racing number 79 - a tribute to the
#BMWM1 presented by Andy Warhol in 1979.
Â
In 2022, Koons also designed his own
#BMWM850i xDrive Gran Coupé, incorporating elements from Pop Art as well as geometric patterns that blend perfectly with the lines and contours of the
#BMW8Series Gran Coupé.
