💧 Olympische Spiele München 1972 – Original Poster by David Hockney
Künstlerplakat: Hockney’s inverted diver and rippling pool for the Munich Games
| Lithograph | Approx. 101 × 64 cm | West Germany
🎬 Introduction
David Hockney’s contribution to the Munich ’72 Künstlerplakate suite distills the velocity of a high dive into his signature language of water, light, and line. An upside‑down figure cleaves into celadon and deep‑blue planes, the pool animated by white contour ripples and coral reflections. A pristine white title band anchors the image with the Olympic rings, the radiating “sunburst” emblem, and the German legend “Olympische Spiele München 1972,” telegraphing its status as an official Games poster rather than a later decorative print. The economy of drawing and layered color places Hockney’s West Coast pool motif squarely within the modernist, humanist graphic program of Munich ’72.
✨ Why It Matters
Commissioned by Edition Olympia 1972 GmbH under Otl Aicher’s forward‑looking identity system, this poster bridges high art and Olympic design—uniting British Pop sensibilities with postwar European modernism. Collectors value the German‑language edition bearing the official marks, which aligns with the original release and remains distinct from subsequent gallery reproductions. The work resonates across categories: Olympic design, Hockney’s celebrated pool era, and international poster design of the early 1970s. In B1 format with luminous, unfaded color, well‑preserved examples are notably desirable given the series’ wide public display.
