Munich's Pinakothek der Moderne is showing 6 of the BMW Art Cars currently (until Sunday, September 12th), so I went there last weekend and took some photos.

I don't know what to think of painting BMWs as murals.

Jbrown7403 · 09-08-2021, 09:27 PM

Very cool! I love the Koons and Calder but the Frank Stella is my favorite!

MrFoxy · 09-09-2021, 10:47 AM

Lichtenstein and Calder and Koons are just f😳😳kin incredible!!!!!

What is there to think about? BMW commissions these artists to combine the world of art and cars. Enjoy them.

Dave92N54 · 09-09-2021, 10:54 AM

The Rauschenberg has always been a favorite for me! Was recently able to pick up a book with each car and interviews with the artists among other things at the MoMA during their Automania exhibit!

mckman · 09-09-2021, 10:58 AM

Thanks for the pics.

Koons and Calder.

Great to see some of the cars in natural light.

IND-Distribution · 09-09-2021, 11:14 AM

Never get tired of seeing photos of these, seeing them in person would be even better.

Chienmechan · 09-09-2021, 11:15 AM

Calder is my favorite!
It's fascinating that besides being the ultimate driving machine, it can also be an amazing museum art as well!!!

The English Guy · 09-09-2021, 12:59 PM

Brilliant
Saw in person at the Le Mans museum in 2019 during the practice sessions for the 24hrs

_E90S65_ · 09-09-2021, 04:23 PM

The Calder and Lichtenstein!!!

tetsuo111 · 09-09-2021, 04:40 PM

Great! Thanks for sharing.

Cooms, Lichtenstein, and Calder float my boat.

I miss the excitement of those Ultimate Driving Machines.

Jbrown7403 · 09-09-2021, 05:29 PM

Come on! Let’s hear it for the Stella CSL!

TargaM2 · 09-09-2021, 11:10 PM

Some fantastic cars, shame about the shitty paint jobs.

My favorite art car! Wow!

Davil · 09-11-2021, 03:03 AM

They had a few in Australia when the two Australian M3s were painted. Pretty sure the Warhol and Stella (my fave) cars were there. I went to the exhibition opening back in 1989. That was very enjoyable. Champagne canapés etc.

Attached pics of the two Australian ones.
