Jeff Koons, who became famous with his stainless-steel balloon animals and massive flower sculptures, corresponded closely with BMW Motorsport and BMW Group Chief Designer Adrian van Hooydonk during 2010, and together with the company'southward design and development team he transposed his art onto a real racing vehicle which competed in Le Mans the same yr. For the auto-loving American artist, the projection was a dream come true. "I always thought information technology would be an honor to design a BMW Art Motorcar," says Jeff Koons. "I am very happy to join the tradition which was founded past such greats as Calder, Lichtenstein, Stella, and Warhol." His prolific work with three-dimensional structures predestined Koons to design an Art Car, and past doing and so he has continued a decades-long tradition at BMW.

Alexander Calder painted the first BMW in the Fine art Car Collection in 1975. He was followed by well-known artists such equally Frank Stella with his distinctive grid blueprint, and pop fine art icons Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Robert Rauschenberg. The latest predecessors of the Jeff Koons Art Car were designed by David Hockney, Jenny Holzer, and most recently Olafur Eliasson. The latter, a Danish artist, entitled his work "Your mobile expectations: BMW H2R project", for which he removed the outer shell of a hydrogen-driven prototype and replaced information technology with a complex skin of steel mesh, shining metal plates, and various layers of ice.

The BMW Fine art Cars, of which there are now no fewer than 17, reverberate the cultural and historical development of art, design, and technology.

The BMW M3 GT2 Art Car Jeff Koons at a scale of 1:18 has been available since the beginning of Dec 2011 from selected BMW dealerships and on the Internet at world wide web.bmw-store.com.
