This Damien Hirst Candyfloss Audi A1 was designed and crated for Sir Elton John's AIDS Foundation and the annual White Ball. The car was spin-painted by Hirst with a cotton candy color pink scheme.
The Audi A1 was paired with another canvas that Hirst had done in conjunction with the car. Both pieces eventually were auctioned off for a whopping 42,000 euros. The Damien Hirst Candyfloss Audi A1 has an interesting tied-dyed look, which is definitely one of a kind. I'm more into the Audi A1 than the actual color, however.
