Description

Excellent group lot of five official color posters for the Munich 1972 Summer Olympics by Otl Aicher, the designer and director of the Olympic visual conception commission, each approximately 23.25 x 33, with each poster featuring the Olympic rings and Munich blue solar (‘Bright Sun’) logo. Poster images include: a leaping female gymnast with crossed arms against a blue and bright green background; a tightly packed group of sailboats competing above turquoise water and under gray sky, with lower left reading, “Kiel, 1972,” the site of the Munich sailing competitions; the looming Olympiaturm in Olympic Park as seen through the netting of the Olympiastadion tent; a line of four runners leaping over a hurdle against a bright green background; and a rider and horse leaping together during an equestrian event. Rolled and in overall very good to fine condition, with some creasing, and a partially erased pencil line on the gymnastics poster.
