The History of the BMW Art Cars
A racing car can be a canvas, a sculpture or even the starting point for a digital world. Beginning with Alexander Calder’s BMW 3.0 CSL in 1975, the BMW Art Car collection brings together 20 very different answers to the same question: what happens when an artist takes the wheel?

The collection began with a car entered at Le Mans. Calder’s blocks of red, blue and yellow seem to push against the coupé’s familiar outline: the doors, wings and bonnet become pieces of one large, moving composition.
