JEFF KOONS TO CREATE NEXT BMW ART CAR
Jeff Koons has been announced as the next in a long line of artists who will be creating a BMW Art Car in what is the thirty-fifth anniversary year of the program. Since 1975, artists from around the world have turned BMWs into art, signifying a particular period, through the Art Car program—the last installment was revealed by artist Olafur Eliasson back in 2007.
Speaking from his New York studio, Koons said: “I always thought it would be an honor to work on a BMW Art Car, I look forward to participating in a tradition set forth by such great artists as Calder, Lichtenstein, Stella, and Warhol.”
As for Koons’s BMW Art Car, the latest creation will be revealed later in the year with more details of the model and preliminary design to be announced in the near future.
