Jeff Koons for BMW… Though his design for his BMW art car emphasizes streaks of saturated hues, the artist Jeff Koons said his multicolored effort was in part inspired by a desire for a checkered flag. “I think that would be really fantastic to work on a car that could win,” Mr. Koons said Monday evening in a telephone interview. “I do hope that in the future, we can look back and this car wins.”  There may or may not be a victory lap in the future for Mr. Koons’s car, whose design, above, will be officially unveiled on Tuesday morning and which will adorn a BMW M3 GT2 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race in Paris this June. But his automotive artwork continues a 35-year-old tradition at BMW, which has previously commissioned Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg to turn its cars into canvases, and, at the same time, offers a window into Mr. Koons’s past.

Guilty Yacht by Jeff Koons… Art superstar Jeff Koons has landed another hit, and designed his first yacht. The “Guilty”, owned by art collector Dakis Joannou, features an extravagant artistic take by the US artist on the exterior. Of course, Sarah Morris’ text painting “Guilty” hangs on the wall of one bedroom - bought after the yacht was named. Although the blown up print and poster colours will be familiar to art fans from Roy Liechtenstein’s signature Ben-Day Dots style, Jeff Koons actually based this design on a WW1 camouflage pattern.
