BMW Art Car Collection Launches Global Tour for 50th Anniversary

The BMW Art Car Collection is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a world tour featuring 20 unique vehicles, known as 'rolling sculptures,' created by renowned artists including Alexander Calder, Andy Warhol, and Julie Mehretu. This collection has merged the worlds of art and automotive design since its inception in 1975, showcasing various art movements from minimalism to digital art. The anniversary tour will span all five continents, beginning with exhibitions in Vienna and Art Basel in Hong Kong, and will include events at international art fairs and museums. BMW's commitment to art is highlighted by collaborations with artists, who develop their concepts in partnership with BMW's engineering teams. The collection has become an iconic representation of cultural engagement over the past five decades and is seen as a celebration of artistic freedom and innovative design. The tour will also feature lifestyle products and a new book in honor of the anniversary.
