Date: 1972

Condition: A+, unbacked.
Artist: Richard Smith
Description: The 1972 Munich Olympic Games had two sets of official posters; Art Series and Sports Series. The Art (or "Artist") Series, which included 28 posters, was an attempt by the Organizing Committee to invite famous artists to express their ideas on the Olympic Games and human movement. This poster is from that series. Otl Aicher, a German graphic designer, was in charge of the project. These posters were printed in 1970 and 1971 and have not been reproduced since then. Some of the posters have the German word Reproduktions Plakate in the lower left corner which means it is this "open edition" and not a reproduction made in recent years. The original meaning in German was to identify this poster as a "reproduction" of the original artwork. Very good condition poster.
