1972 Olympic Poster - Eduardo Chillida

This striking black and white poster is immediately identifiable as the work of the great Spanish artist, Eduardo Chillida.

The graphic imagery of the 1972 Games is well regarded. Posters were high on the agenda for the Olympic Committee and planning was underway as early as 1967 to produce an art series using the best artists of the day. In 1968 a partnership was formed with the publishing house F. Bruckmann KG, Munich, setting up the company Edition Olympia 1972, GmbH. The project ran to five series, each made up of seven posters. Three grades of poster were produced in a hierarchy of values, this poster is from the second grade and limited to a print run of approximately 4000.
