The Louwman Museum presents Fine Art on Wheels, featuring eight rare BMW Art Cars. Each vehicle was designed by an internationally renowned artist, including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, and Esther Mahlangu.

Anniversary

The selected cars show how art, motorsport, and design have come together in a unique way since 1975 in the BMW Art Car Collection. For this anniversary edition, the Louwman Museum selected eight models that together form a journey through the history of modern art — on four wheels.

Alexander Calder – BMW 3.0 CSL (1975)
“I wanted to give the car a sense of speed. Even when standing still, it should look fast.”

Frank Stella – BMW 3.0 CSL (1976)
“The car is a blueprint brought to life.”

Roy Lichtenstein – BMW 320i Group 5 (1977)
“I wanted the car to express the idea of a landscape passing by.”

Andy Warhol – BMW M1 (1979)
“I love that car. It’s more successful than the artwork.”

César Manrique – BMW 730i (1990)
“I see the car as a part of nature, harmonizing with its surroundings.”

Esther Mahlangu – BMW 525i (1991)
“My art has always been part of my life. It is my way of telling stories.”

David Hockney – BMW 850 CSi (1995)
“You can see the car’s innards – the engine, the driver. It's about showing what’s underneath.”

Jeff Koons – BMW M3 GT2 (2010)
“The car is bursting with energy. It’s meant to express the power and excitement of racing.”
