A 61-year-old man was killed on the National Mall in Washington, DC, last week while delivery crews were unloading a racecar painted by Andy Warhol.Emergency personnel responded to a call east of the Washington Monument at 14th Street and Jefferson Drive shortly before 3pm on Wednesday, September 17, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department told Hyperallergic. According to ABC7, officials said that a person had been pinned down by the car when a winch holding the vehicle gave way. Medics treated the critically injured person inside a box truck before pronouncing them dead at the scene. The victim has been identified as Joseph Keegan of Parsippany, New Jersey, police told Hyperallergic. “The incident appears accidental in nature,” the MPD spokesperson said.The incident occurred while workers were delivering a 1979 BMW M1 painted by Warhol for the Cars at the Capital exhibition, an annual showcase of cars from the National Historic Vehicle Register. Warhol’s factory racecar was the fourth in a series of customized “art cars” launched by BMW in 1975. The series also includes collaborations with Alexander Calder, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Jenny Holzer, Frank Stella, and other prominent artists.Famously painted in under half an hour, Warhol’s automotive creation was added to the National Historic Vehicle Register in August, a recognition that means that archival photographs, line sketches, and information about its history will be held at the Library of Congress. It was slated to be exhibited in a lit glass case at the pop-up at the yearly exhibition organized by the Hagerty Drivers Foundation (previously known as the Historic Vehicle Association) on the National Mall.The event was scheduled to begin at 9pm on September 17 and run through midnight tomorrow, September 23, according to a Facebook announcement; it has since been canceled. “Our sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to the deceased’s family,” a Hagerty Drivers Foundation spokesperson told Hyperallergic in a statement. “Out of respect for the deceased, we will not comment further at this time.”
