In 1991, Dr Esther Mahlangu became the first woman and the first person from Africa to produce a BMW Art Car. Unlike the many famous names before her, Mahlangu selected a sedan—the BMW 525i—rather than a racecar. She then adorned the production vehicle with a traditional Ndebele pattern. This year at Frieze Los Angeles, BMW debuted another collaboration with the South African artist: the BMW i5 Flow NOSTOKANA. The NOSTOKANA is not an Art Car; it’s a one-of-a-kind concept car and a tribute to BMW’s 12th Art Car by Mahlangu. Utilizing BMW’s color-changing E Ink exterior coat, the NOSTOKANA is a kinetic sculpture that brings to life the vibrant colors and geometric patterns of the 88-year-old artist.
