ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Olympic Suite consists of 50 lithographs and silkscreen prints chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of the modern Olympic Games. The selected artists work in a wide variety of movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, including abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, and the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented are creators of great international renown, widely recognised by critics.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Dennis Oppenheim (1938–2011) was an American conceptual artist and one of the pioneers of Land Art, Performance Art, and installation. Born in Electric City, Washington, he developed an innovative multidisciplinary practice spanning sculpture, photography, drawing, video, and public art. His work explored themes of transformation, identity, memory, and the relationship between people and the environment, often challenging traditional artistic boundaries. Alongside his large-scale installations and sculptures, Oppenheim produced a significant body of graphic works, including prints and drawings that reflect the conceptual nature of his artistic research. His work was exhibited in leading museums and international biennials, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in postwar conceptual art, leaving a lasting impact on contemporary artistic practice.
