New Pics of the BMW M1 Customized by Andy Warhol (and also some others!)

Andy Warhol’s Customized BMW M1 Art Car from 1979 (pics via BMW AG)

Pop Art and the some of the other art movements from around the 1950s-1970s is a constant source of inspiration for me. In the case of Andy Warhol, the sheer volume of work that he created in his lifetime is mind blowing. Andy’s customized BMW M1 from 1979 has just been newly photographed by automotive photographer Stephan Bauer and the shots are breathtaking, as seen below…

As much as I am a fan of Warhol, I had previously see images of his M1, but what I didn’t realize is that some of my other favorite artists also worked with BMW to create art cars. Below is the art car created by Frank Stella in 1976…

and here is the art car created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1977…

Thanks to Mike Shouts for the tip and the pictures are from BMW AG and Stephan Bauer.
