This book presents the AutoWerke collection - donated by the BMW Group to the Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts. In the period 1998 - 2000, BMW commissioned 28 international photographers to engage with the theme of the car and mobility. A total of 75 photographic and video works were produced, which provide very different views of the ‘automobilized’ society. The photographers include, Thomas Demand, Rineke Dijkstra, Candida Hofer, Thomas Struth, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Gillian Wearing, who deliberate in their work on the themes of automobiles, design, production processes and locations, speed and the mobile society. This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition Motor Blues. Fotografien aus der Schenkung Autowerke der BMW Group, Museum der bildenden Kunste Leipzig, 2005.
