A car? What’s a car doing in an art exhibition? What do you think? For Calder, this car was a moving canvas. Calder met a racecar driver, Hervé Poulain, who wanted a special car for a special race.
Calder and Poulain became friends, and after several models, Calder painted the final car for his friend. The car company BMW liked the car so much that after this project, BMW continued to make cars with other artists, and today, these Art Cars are in the BMW museum. If you visit their website, you can see Calder and Poulain working on the car and the car in motion.
Can you imagine if all cars were painted like this? Do you think cities would look different?
