The 20th BMW Art Car has arrived from its Paris World Premiere to the Le Mans race track 🏎️
Â
#BMWArtCar20 designed by juliemehretu will be the first bmwmmotorsport prototype to compete at 24hourslemans since the victory of theÂ
#BMWV12LMR in 1999.Â
Â
“I don’t think of this car as something you would exhibit. I am thinking of it as something that will race in Le Mans. It’s a performative painting,” says Mehretu. “The BMW Art Car is only completed once the race is over.”
Â
#BMWArtCars by Alexander Calder (1975), Frank Stella (1976), Roy Lichtenstein (1977), Andy Warhol (1979), Jenny Holzer (1999) and Jeff Koons (2010), made their race debut at Le Mans.
