The painted-aluminium figurines were seen making a splash the Tadao Ando-designed water feature outside The Connaught Hotel last week, adjacent to which is the Serpentine Gallery holding an exhibition of the artist’s work. ‘Alex Katz: Quick Light’ will run until 3 September.

Joining the likes of Alexander Calder, Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons in the list of famous artists to have designed their own BMW Art Car, Fei and Baldessari’s interpretations of the M6 GT3 will be exhibited in museums and also in their natural habitat, on the racetrack.
Of particular note are the four artists’ postcards by Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Christian Rohlfs, from the estate of Dr. Elsa Hopf. Several renowned museums and institutions have registered their interest, so it will be interesting to see what they garner. There are many other exciting paintings, etchings, photographs and ‘readymades’ in the catalogue, which you can find listed in the Classic Driver Market.
