BMW consolidates its international commitment in the field of contemporary art.
26.03.2008

Munich. Following its six-year commitment, BMW is concluding its associate
partnership with Art Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach. For many years now,
BMW has provided VIP shuttles for international art fairs, the car builder having
participated in events such as Frieze Art Fair in London and the Paris Photo,
where the renown "Prix BMW" is awarded. Furthermore, last year, BMW was
exclusive sponsor of the curated programme "Frieze Films". MINI, another brand
of the BMW Group, was involved with Fiac in 2007 and, in 2005, the first Design
Miami.

In the light of its numerous collaborations, BMW is in need to focus its
sponsorship within the cultural sphere. The company is particularly proud of
having recognised the huge potential of Art Basel Miami Beach right from the
start. This appraisal resulted in the future-oriented decision to support the fair as
an associate sponsor since 2002. In the same year, BMW also became host
sponsor of Art Basel. During the partnership with both fairs, BMW has always
regarded itself as an initiator in assisting the successful format to achieve greater
visibility. As a long-standing associate within an amicable cooperation, BMW is
very grateful to all involved and wishes them continuing success and gratification
in the positioning of Art Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach.

It is BMW's intention to focus its cultural commitment more intensively within the
areas of contemporary art, classical music, design and architecture. In doing so,
the company is pinning its hopes on international projects that possess
meaningful content and through which sustainable cultural formats with a lasting
effect are realised. With regard to fine arts, these include the international
scholarships of the Leipzig International Art Programme as well as the initiation
of the young curators' workshop, taking place already for the second time during
the 5th Berlin Biennale. Furthermore, within the framework of the BMW Art Car
Collection Olafur Eliasson's "Your mobile expectations: BMW H2R project" will
be presented to the general public in its final version at Munich's Pinakothek der
Moderne starting 28 May 2008.

Further projects round off BMW's multi-faceted cultural involvement. Since
1986, BMW has awarded, under the patronage of the Spanish Crown, the
established "Premio de Pintura" for young Spanish artists. In Berlin the company
is honoured to exclusively sponsor the "National Gallery Prize for Young Art".
And this year in New York for the first time, MINI is sponsoring "Ludlow 38", the
new exhibition room at the Goethe Institute, which will be initially utilised until
2010 by three different German art societies.

The company continues to sponsor innovative formats implemented by a
number of museums worldwide. For around 20 years now, employees within the
company have presented their own works of art in the "Galerie 71", and since
1986 works from the Munich Academy of Fine Arts have been purchased for
exhibiting within company premises. The academy itself possesses an exhibition
room sponsored by the BMW Group, in which students curate their own works
and installations.

For over 30 years now, the company's commitment to contemporary art is both
global and multi-faceted. The authenticity and trustworthiness of the BMW
Group's course of action is also defined by a sustainable and responsible
commitment that leaves all decisions in respect of content to the partner with
which it shares its cultural involvement.
