One sheet, created by artist David Hockney for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. This poster, titled "Swimming Pool," is an offset lithograph that depicts a diver entering a swimming pool. The artwork is composed of twelve photographs joined together to create a distinctive, collage-like effect of a swimmer under rippling water.
Hockney was one of fifteen artists commissioned by the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee to create posters for the event. The original limited edition prints were published in 1982. A limited number of these posters were produced, with some sources stating that only 750 limited edition prints were made, and even fewer exist today. Original posters were printed on Parsons Diploma Parchment Paper and included a Certificate of Authenticity from the Olympic Committee. |
