The Art Drive car collection will be on show for the first time in the UK from 21 July to 4 August as part of the London 2012 Festival.
The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) will curate the free exhibition, which will take over nine floors of the NCP car park on Great Eastern Street.
The collection began in 1975 after Alexander Calder designed a BMW car for French racing driver Hervé Poulain. It now includes cars painted by Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, Frank Stella and David Hockney – whose car was added to the anthology in 1995.
Event management company My Beautiful City worked with the ICA to help organise the exhibition.
Gregor Muir, executive director of the ICA, said he is excited about reaching new and larger audiences in London’s East End, and hopes to continue its reach to innovative and unusual exhibition spaces in the capital.
