BMW meets FUTURA 2000

  • February 13, 2020
  • 1 minute read

In the wake of the further development of BMW Individual, BMW M GmbH is presenting its latest collaboration, a multi-tiered project with eminent international contemporary artist FUTURA 2000. The partnership is debuting at Frieze Los Angeles 2020. In this collaboration, FUTURA 2000, who is known for his mastery of colour, concentric forms, and kinetic composition, created three exclusive and unique versions of the BMW M2 Competition (combined fuel consumption: 10.0 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 227 g/km) in his unmistakable style, whilst also designing a limited-edition series of the BMW M2 Competition which is scheduled for public purchase in June 2020.

One of the hand-painted BMW M2 by Futura vehicles is celebrating its world premiere at the second Frieze Los Angeles – being held at the Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood until the 16th of February.

FUTURA 2000, born Leonard Hilton McGurr, established himself as a pioneer when graffiti met the formal gallery ecosystem in the 1980s. He quickly became known for his radical approach on the street, introducing abstraction to an entirely letter based discipline, and found himself part of a wider art movement that included the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Dondi White. Aside from his decades-long career as a contemporary artist, he has achieved great success as a commercial artist, collaborating with several well-known brands.

With the unique BMW M2 by Futura and the BMW M2 Edition Futura, BMW M GmbH is setting trends both in the high-performance vehicle sector and the art scene.
