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
Paul Van Hoeydonck (born 1925) is a Belgian sculptor, painter, draftsman, and printmaker best known for his visionary works inspired by space exploration and the relationship between humanity and technology. Born in Antwerp, he developed a multidisciplinary practice that combines abstraction, symbolism, and futuristic themes. He achieved international recognition in 1971 when his sculpture Fallen Astronaut became the only artwork placed on the Moon during the Apollo 15 mission. Alongside his sculpture, Van Hoeydonck created an important body of graphic works, including etchings, lithographs, and screenprints, distinguished by their refined compositions and recurring cosmic imagery. His work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in numerous public and private collections, establishing him as one of Belgium’s most significant postwar artists.
