1972 Olympic Poster - Valerio Adami

Valerio Adami is an Italian artist. His work is influenced by Pop Art. His strong graphics have also featured in other advertising campaigns including posters for the 1982 World Cup, 1980 Roland Garros and travel posters for Wagons-Lits.

'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.  Otl Aicher oversaw the design and the project ran to five series, each made up of seven posters. Three grades of poster were produced in a hierarchy of values and the majority of the surviving posters are from the unlimited edition printed on poster paper.'

Margaret Timmers is the author of a highly recommended book - A Century of Olympic Posters.
