It was half a century since Alexander Calders BMW has opened the Art Car series. Since then, the collection has been expanded by 19 additional roller sculptures, five of which are to appear in the revival of Goodwood. These special vehicles will be exhibited together from September 12th to 14th during the Earls Court automotive exhibitions. Every artist who was invited to create an artificial tauto received full freedom from BMW to express his vision, which led to really unique projects.
The oldest exhibited is Frank Stellas 3.0 CSL from 1976, the second official artisto. It is accompanied by Roy Lichtenstein’s 320i Turbo from 1977, which is based on the E21 platform. We would like to mention that it is a suitable highlight, since the original 3 Series also celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025. BMW’s showcase also becomes Ernst Fuchs’ 635 CSI from 1982, the fifth art store of the series and the first on a street car.
Seventeen years later, David Hockney contributed the 14th entry with his 850 CSI from 1995, who is known to outline the outline of a driver at the door. Jeff Koons’ lively M3 GT2 from 2010 2010 will bring the line -up closer to the present.
Goodwood Revival is a station on the current Kuntauto World Tour by BMW, which was introduced in Europe last March. The Asian tour with Julie Mehretus M Hybrid V8 began around the same time. In addition to Calder’s CSL, the latest entry in the long -standing series of 2024 is also exhibited in the CHSL of Contemporary Istanbul.
Although 2025 officially marked 50 years of the Kuntauto program, BMW plans to extend the tour into the next year. Stops count Vienna, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Dubai, Shanghai, Zurich, Taipei, Stockholm, Bratislava, Cernobbio, Munich, Båstad, Hague and Istanbul, with further locations being added.
For the last schedule, follow the official BMW Group Culture account Instagram. What we would like to see the most would probably have to be Andy Warhol’s 1979 M1.
