You Can Now Buy A Polestar 1 With Art-July 2024

Image for article titled You Can Now Buy A Polestar 1 With Art

Are you a car-less artist who can’t seem to find a vehicle? Well, have I got a deal for you! Polestar has that for a limited time, artists can use their art to purchase a Polestar 1. Insert big ass asterisk here though, because there’s a catch.

From the company’s CEO Thomas Ingenlath:

“I love the idea of letting artists and collectors buy a Polestar 1 with art - it is such a special car and we wanted to find a unique way of celebrating it before its production reaches an end. It is hand-made, precious and tangible, much like a piece of art.”

Yes, you read that right. You could literally approach Polestar with a sculpture that you either created or own and they’d accept it in exchange for a Polestar 1. Well kinda. It’s not quite so simple.

Theodor Dalenson

Polestar has partnered with Swedish art collector/art advisor and investor Theodor Dalenson who will act as a consultant to review the pieces of art that are submitted. And Dalenson has an eye for art. He’s sat on the board of art institutions like Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Perez Miami Art Museum. Dalenson says “Historically, many significant art transactions have taken place outside of what we today associate with the art market.”

When a piece of art is submitted, it’ll be reviewed by Dalenson. If he thinks there’s something to it, he will then send the piece to have it valued by art auction houses Sotheby’s and Phillips. The big ass asterisk I mentioned? The valuation has to correspond to the price of a Polestar 1, which is $155,000. Polestar says it won’t keep the pieces and intends to sell them through the auction houses or through whatever dealer the artist works with. If you’re interested, act soon. Art can be submitted . This initiative is only running from June 10th to August 15th while the Polestar 1 ends production later this year.

At $21,500, Is This 2005 Cadillac CTS-V A Sedan That Sticks It To You?
When Cadillac introduced the Corvette-powered CTS-V it gave enthusiasts what they wanted - a real hot rod kind of a car. Unfortunately, not too many of those enthusiasts had real Cadillac kind of money. Let’s see if today’s ’05 is now priced to generate a little more enthusiasm. Many...

At $3,995, Could This Salvage Title 2002 Lincoln Blackwood Have You Saying “Yes I Would?”
Today’s Lincoln is about the jankiest-looking Blackwood you’re likely to find and is tainted with a salvage title. Could its quirkiness and price make up for those downsides? With many automakers these days settling on two-liter turbocharged four-cylinders as their engine of choice, it’s nice to still have the...
