In 1975, Alexander Calder founded a series that now comprises 18 different works. The U.S. artist and sculptor was commissioned by French auctioneer and racing driver Herv\u00e9 Poulain to design a BMW 3.0 CSL for the 24-hou race at Le Mans, creating the very first BMW Art Car. While some artists painted their works directly onto the sheet metal of the respective models, Calder created precise designs and delivered them to painter Walter Maurer, who, together with his team, undertook the implementation on the 3.0 CSL. With large works of art, it is customary for the respective creator to be allowed to produce an Artist’s Proof. Until now, this hasn’t been the case with BMW Art Cars. On behalf of the Calder Foundation, which has been looking after the artist’s artistic estate since his death in 1976, an Artist’s Proof of the 3.0 CSL has now been produced in direct collaboration with BMW. Walter Maurer, Herv\u00e9 Poulain and Jochen Neerpasch were also involved.<\/p>\n\n\n
