Juan Antonio Rodríguez

Official Art Series Poster | Spanish Modernism | Serigraph on Paper

⸻

Introduction

This is an original poster from the official 1972 Munich Olympics art series, designed by renowned Spanish sculptor and abstract artist Eduardo Chillida. Commissioned by Otl Aicher’s design team, Chillida’s contribution to this legendary project embodies his sculptural language through bold, architectural black forms.

Unlike commercial sports prints, this piece is part of the limited Edition Olympia 1972 — a cultural milestone that paired Olympic ideals with cutting-edge modern art. Other contributing artists included David Hockney, Tomi Ungerer, Serge Poliakoff, and Hans Hartung.
