Technology evolves the world and everything in it. And art evolves with it. The BMW art car has seen an evolution from its inception back in 1975 through the decades with greats like Alexander Calder, Sandro Chia and of course, Andy Warhol all the way to 2017. To mark the 100th year of BMW, the German luxury car-maker had commissioned two art cars, one for 2016 and one for 2017. Incidentally, the BMW Art Car from 2016 is number 19, crafted by American modern art legend John Baldessari while this, the brand new Art Car for 2017 is Number 18. We were invited to the Minsheng Museum in Beijing as the only media outlet from India to take a closer look at the Art Car that befits the modernity of the 21st Century!
