🔦 #BMWArtCar Artist spotlight: Alexander Calder In 1974, French auctioneer and racecar driver Hervé Poulain, together with the then BMW Head of Motorsport Jochen Neerpasch, visited Calder’s studio in Saché, France. BMW and Poulain commissioned Calder to paint a BMW for the 24 Heures du Mans race in 1975; the result was broad swathes of primary colors across the BMW 3.0 CSL and a momentous collaboration that initiated the beloved BMW Art Car collection — a prestigious crossover into the art world. #AlexanderCalder calderfoundation bmw 📸: The 1st BMW Art Car by Alexander Calder, 1975 BMW 3.0 CSL. © 2024 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
