An Original Vintage Linenbacked German Special Poster (measures 25 1/2" x 39 1/2") (Learn More)

Olympische Spiele Munchen 1972 (Munich Olympics 1972), the 1969 - 1972 Olympic poster that was part of two series of posters created for the Munich Olympic Games of 1972. The Posterization series was created by various photographers and artist Otl Aicher, who used a technique called "posterization". Aicher created 21 posters using the official design colors and logo (one of the posters became the official poster of the games). The Art Series was an attempt by the Organizing Committee to invite famous artists to express their ideas on the Olympic Games and human movement. These posters were printed in a hand-signed/numbered very limited edition of 200, a limited edition printing of 2,000 and a general printing. The Posterization and Art series posters were often displayed side-by-side around Munich.
Artist: Peter Phillips
Important Added Info: Note that there were several editions of the many wonderful German Olympic posters that were created prior to the 1972 Olympic Games. This poster was originally created in 1970, and there were two limited edition series that included this poster, but this is a reproduction of it from later 1970 or 1971 (from the "Reproduktions Plakate" edition, which means that it was not a limited edition, but it was definitely created in 1970 or 1971 and not at a later date).
