Interesting but little dull.

15. E32 730i by Cesar Manrique

Looks like it came straight from circus. I don't like circus.

16. E24 635 CSi by Robert Rauschenberg

Blarghfdg, ugly. Too many things on one canvas.

17. H2R by Olafur Eliasson

It's an art car , it should, at least, be movable.

18. E89 Z4 by Robin Rhode

Again, it's an art car. That means the car should be the canvas, not the brush.

Not official, doesn't count.

If it was official though it would rank somewhere in Warhol/Hockney/Fuchs territory.

I dont even need to look at them. Calder, Rauschenberg , Warhol as the top 3 for me. Your top 2 are some of my least favorites, but we probably have wildly different artistic taste. I don't even consider the Holzer car art of any form, just somebody who got to put words on a car. That phrase "Protect Me From What I Want" I had on my wall in high school cut out from a Simple sneaker box ('94 or so)

In my opinion having Warhol do the only M1 art car is one of humanities great tragedies

I agree. Not much of a fan of his other works but this one is pretty good.

Just edited the comment. I first read your comment as 'In my opinion having Warhol do the only M1 art car the rest are one of humanities great tragedies'.

10, 14, 17, and 18 are pretty weak... I love the rest, my favorite would probably be #3
