John Baldessari's BMW Art Car Unveiled at Miami Basel

John Baldessari's BMW Art Car, a BMW M6 GTLM capable of 300 km/h and 585 hp, was unveiled at Miami Basel. It is the 19th car in the BMW Art Car series, which began in 1975 with Alexander Calder, followed by Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, and Jeff Koons. The car features Baldessari's signature style: primary colors, black-and-white dots, and the word "Fast" as a central message. In 2015, BMW also announced Chinese artist Cao Fei for a future Art Car at the Guggenheim in New York. Baldessari, a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the 2009 Venice Biennale, designed the car with ironic, multidimensional lines.
