ART CARS
JEFF Koons’ interpretation of the BMW 8 Series (right) has taken the art world by storm. But the 8 X JEFF KOONS isn’t the first BMW he’s used as a canvas. In 2010, he painted an M3 GT2 for the Le Mans 24 Hours race, when it was the latest in BMW’s ‘Art Car’ series, which dates back to 1975.
All 19 cars have been unique, but the 8 X JEFF KOONS is the first BMW Art Car to be offered for sale. Each of the limited run of 99 cars has Koons’ signature on its cup-holder and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The original is about to set off on a world tour, including a fleeting appearance at this year’s Goodwood Festival
