<\/span>Last March, when a selection of\u00a0BMW Art Cars<\/a>\u00a0were exhibited at New York’s Grand Central Station, we tried our best to convince the impeccably dressed BMW execs to spill the beans on who would follow in the footsteps of such artists as\u00a0Andy Warhol<\/strong>,\u00a0Robert Rauschenberg<\/strong>,\u00a0Roy Lichtenstein<\/strong>,\u00a0Frank Stella<\/strong>, and\u00a0Jenny Holzer<\/strong>. Despite our eyelash-batting pleas (in charmingly bungled German), they would divulge only that “plans were underway” for the next creative customization. Well, now the secret is out:\u00a0Jeff Koons<\/strong>\u00a0is creating the seventeenth BMW Art Car as the program celebrates its thirty-fifth year. The announcement was made last night at a event held at Koons’s Manhattan studio (as followers of\u00a0the UnBeige Twitter feed<\/a>\u00a0already know). “The entire BMW Group is looking forward to this celebration of contemporary art by Jeff Koons, one of the greatest artists of our time,” said BMW president\u00a0Jim O’Donnell<\/strong>\u00a0in making the announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n
