Fine Art on Wheels

This year marks exactly 50 years since American sculptor Alexander Calder transformed a BMW 3.0 CSL into a work of art. This car even competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. To celebrate this milestone, the BMW Art Cars collection is embarking on a world tour across five continents.

The BMW Art Car collectie

The collection now consists of twenty unique models. The Louwman Museum has selected eight iconic examples, ranging from the very first Art Car to masterpieces by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jeff Koons.

• Alexander Calder (1975) – BMW 3.0 CSL
• Frank Stella (1976) – BMW 3.0 CSL
• Roy Lichtenstein (1977) – BMW 320i Gruppe 5 Rennversion
• Andy Warhol (1979) – BMW M1
• César Manrique (1990) – BMW 730i
• Esther Mahlangu (1991) – BMW 525i
• David Hockney (1995) – BMW 850 CSi
• Jeff Koons (2010) – BMW M3 GT2

The exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to admire the stunning details of these cars up close and to explore the fascinating stories behind their designs. Made possible through a collaboration with the BMW Group, this unique exhibition is expected to draw significant interest. As a result, the museum will be open seven days a week throughout the exhibition period.
