The latest in a 35-year-long run of BMW art cars was unveiled in Paris ahead of its participation in the 24 hours of Le Mans. The M3 GT2 was painted by American artist Jeff Koons with a multicolored theme.
Over the last four months Koons has worked closely with the BMW Motorsports squad on the application of the graphics to ensure they didn’t have any negative affect on the car’s aerodynamics.
Herb Ritts attained the legendary status of a fashion, celebrity, portrait- and nude photographer. In the 1980s and the 1990s, the autodidact worked together with nearly every superstar. Among the exhibited portraits one can find names such as Madonna, Mick Jagger, Dustin Hoffman, David Bowie, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, and Cindy Crawford.
His great sensitivity and his stylistic confidence with regard to the usage of strict forms, creating a monumental sensuality, enabled Herb Ritts to create timeless icons and to influence a whole generation of photographers with his innovative picture language.
More than 50 photographs will give a comprehensive insight into the work of Herb Ritts. All of the exhibited photographs were developed during the artist’s lifetime.
