October 31, 2011 – As the official vehicle of Art Toronto 2011, BMW Canada is proud to present iconic artist Andy Warhol’s 1979 Art Car – the BMW M1. Since 1975, artists from around the globe have turned BMW automobiles into art, signifying a particular period through the Art Car program.

The name Andy Warhol is the quintessence of pop art. He began his artistic career as a commercial artist and was successful in holding his own exhibitions in New York as early as 1952. BMW Canada is extremely proud to bring Warhol’s Art Car to Toronto as a means of sharing one of the company’s many cultural initiatives with Canadians.
