The Art Car designed by Ernst Fuchs was painted in 1982, on the occasion of the "Art as Illustration - Illustration as Art" exhibition, and went on show at the BMW Gallery in Munich.
Art Car Ernst Fuchs BMW 635 Csi, 1982
New price: $ 157,15.
The car itself merely served as a surface onto which his own imagination could be projected, without representing a formal restraint. The artist himself supplied this interpretation of the work: "In painting the BMW 635 CSi, I gave expression to various experiences, fears, desires and implorations, but also to free aesthetic artistic creativity. I call this car 'Firefox on Harehunt'. It represents a hare racing across a motorway at night and leaping over a burning car - the primeval fear and bold dream of surmounting a dimension in which we live."
