THE 8 X JEFF KOONS: the US artist has created his dream car with BMW

Only four cars will be painted each week. The interior is comprised of high-end materials, fine leather and a cupholder lid with an edition badging and the artist's signature. The seats are made up of the red and blue which reflects the colors of superheroes from the comic book universe as well as those of BMW M. The exploding lines of color are an homage to the artist's 2010 BMW Art Car, while the "POP!" and the vapor thrust imagery symbolize the power and speed of THE 8 X JEFF KOONS.

THE 8 X JEFF KOONS will be on display in Manhattan's Rockefeller Plaza before one vehicle, signed by Jeff Koons, will be auctioned off at Christie's in New York on April 4. All proceeds from the highest bid will go to the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC). Jeff Koons has been personally involved with this nonprofit NGO for over two decades.
