BMW Art Car Collection – 35 years of artful paint jobs

If you’re in London, might I suggest you take some time off and head over to a car park in Shoreditch. There you will see a unique exhibition of the BMW Art Cars on show for the first time in the UK. The exhibition will run from July 21 to August 4, admission is free.

Aptly titled ART DRIVE! THE BMW ART CAR COLLECTION showcases works of 16 international artists over six floors of the NCP Car Park on Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch. The 35-year-old collection features works by Alexander Calder, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Ernst Fuchs, Robert Rauschenberg, M.J. Nelson, Ken Done, Matazo Kayama, César Manrique, Jeff Koons, A.R. Penck, Esther Mahlangu, Sandro Chia, Jenny Holzer and David Hockney.

If you do happen to drop by, do take pictures and share them on our Facebook page. We’d love to see more those arty-farty Bimmers from all angles. In the mean time, the gallery is after the jump for your viewing pleasure.
