Together, they revitalize the department with an international dimension and the organisation of auctions during important events for collectors from around the world, such as the Salon Retromobile or Le Mans Classic.

BMW Art Car Jeff Koons & Hervé Poulain
Fou de vitesse et d’art, pilote amateur et professionnel du monde de l’art, Hervé Poulain - co-fondateur et Président d’honneur d’Artcurial - a inventé le concept des BMW Art Cars à partir des années 1975 en demandant aux maîtres de l’art contemporain (Calder, Stella, Lichtenstein et Warhol puis Arman, César et Wolinski) de peindre les bolides qu’il pilotait lors des 24 Heures du Mans.
Le 22 août 2021, le musée Neue Nationalgalerie de Berlin à l’architecture de Miss van der Rohe, a inauguré l’exposition « Alexandre Calder. Minimal / Maximal ». À cette occasion, la fondation Calder a présenté une reconstruction à l’identique de la BMW Calder de 1975 dénommée « épreuve d’artiste », avec la bénédiction d’Hervé Poulain et de BMW, gardiens de la voiture originale.
Le 4 août 2021 au musée du design de la Pinakothek der Moderne de Munich et durant le Salon Automobiles de Munich, Oliver Zipse – président-directeur général de BMW - a annoncé la future collaboration de la firme avec Jeff Koons, l’occasion de retrouvailles chaleureuses entre l’artiste et Hervé Poulain qui avait parrainé la BMW N3 GT2 Art Car du légendaire américain aux 24 Heures du Mans 2010.
Jeff Koons va créer une édition spéciale de la M850i x Drive Gran Coupé. La luxueuse Série 8 Gran Coupé sera mise en vente dans une édition collector très limitée lors de Frieze Los Angeles en Février 2022.
