Vehicles as Works of Art - The BMW Art Cars (GALLERY)
The BMW Art Cars

The BMW Art Cars tradition began in 1975 when French race car driver Hervé Poulain asked Alexander Calder to customize his BMW 3.0 CSL. For 33 years, BMW cars have been turned into rolling works of art by such influential artists as David Hockney, Roy Litchenstein, Frank Stella, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol.

These unique pieces, which have been shown in prominent museums around the world such as the Louvre Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Guggenheim Museum to name a few, are on permanent display at the BMW museum in Munich, Germany.

Established in 1975, the BMW Art Car Collection now includes 16 works by prominent artists - including David Hockney, Jenny Holzer, Roy Litchenstein, Frank Stella, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol - each making a unique artistic statement about the appearance and meaning of cars in our time. The Art Cars reflect the cultural and historical development of art, design and technology. (dezeen)

This certainly helps to explain BMW's Facebook Graffiti Contest.
