Fastest work of art races past antiques and masterpieces at TEFAF Maastricht Arts and Antiques Fair

Fastest work of art races past antiques and masterpieces at TEFAF Maastricht Arts and Antiques Fair TEFAF MAASTRICHT / BMW / JEFF KOONS

The BMW Art Car by Jeff Koons will be exhibited in the Netherlands for the first time ever - among historical collections of fine art and antique jewelry - at the 24th edition of the TEFAF (The European Fine Art Foundation) Maastricht Arts and Antiques Fair.

"This will mark the start of a three-year association between BMW Group Nederland and TEFAF Maastricht," said TEFAF Maastricht.

The black BMW M3 GT2 has been completely covered with distinctive colored stripes which "makes the car look as though it's travelling at top speed even when it isn't moving."

Jeff Koons is the 17th artist to collaborate with BMW on their Art Car series. World-renowned artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg have also provided BMW's art cars with total makeovers in the past.
