The BMW 635 CSi designed by Robert Rauschenberg was the first Art Car in series production. But that is not all that distinguishes it from the previous works of art.
Rauschenberg's design was also unusual: firstly, he used, in part, well-known works of art, such as Bronzino's "Man of the World" finished in 1535, and a work by the French artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Rauschenberg worked these pieces, and his own photographs of trees and swamp grass, using photographic techniques and then projected them onto the bodywork of the car. For the first time, even the hub caps were included in the design, on which are depicted photos of antique plates.
