Audi A1 by Damien Hirst

In conjunction with Elton John’s AIDS Foundation White Tie and Tiara Ball, world renowned artist Damien Hirst produced a special one off version of the A1 by German automaker Audi, marking the eight consecutive year the company has participated in this event. Putting Hirst’s popular spin paint technique to work, the car featured a special candyfloss pink paint job, selling at auction for 420,000 euros, along with a 1.80-meter high spin painting on canvas. The vehicle model in particular won’t see a release in the UK until November 2010, marking the most exclusive donation that Audi has ever given away.
