jeff koons BMW art car

the latest BMW art car by jeff koons will be unveiled at the centre pompidou in paris on june 1, 2010.
koons used a BMW M3 GT2 for his artwork, which will race at the 24 hours of le mans in france,
june 12-13, 2010.
the image above shows koons' preliminary design concept for the car. 'as part of his creative process,
the artist collected images of race cars and graphics, vibrant colors and speed. he layered them into
a digital collage depicting his sources of inspiration. the resulting graphic conceived by koons
– evocative of power, motion and light and rendered in the artist’s signature saturated hues on
a black ground set against the car’s silver interior – will impart a dynamic appearance to the race
car even when it’s standing still.'

andy warhol, frank stella, roy lichtenstein and robert rauschenberg to turn cars into canvases.
