Classic gets new coat

It has been 40 years since the auto giant BMW invited celebrated artists to paint its cars. Now, Cao Fei gets her chance to join stars like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Deng Zhangyu reports.

Chinese artist Cao Fei is now on the list of BMW Art Car designers. She is the youngest and the first Chinese artist picked by an international jury of well-known museum directors and curators worldwide.

The 37-year-old artist and 84-year-old American conceptual artist John Baldessari will be the artists for the 18th and 19th BMW Art Cars.
