Product description
⚽ Copa del Mundo de Fútbol España 82 (Oviedo) – 1982 – Original Poster by Pol Bury
Oviedo host‑city artwork for the 1982 FIFA World Cup
| Offset lithograph | 95 × 60 cm | Spain
🎬 Introduction
Pol Bury distills the kinetics of football into a clean, optical composition: segmented, multicolored figures sprint across a white field, their stippled patches and offsets conveying vibration and speed. Yellow balls punctuate the rhythm like visual metronomes, while a calm, lowercase “oviedo” centers the energy. Along the base, the tournament legend “COPA DEL MUNDO DE FUTBOL — ESPAÑA 82” and the ball‑stripe emblem affirm its official function.
A leading voice in kinetic/Op art, Bury privileges perception over literal depiction—slicing and recombining forms to imply impact and motion. The result is an elegant sheet that balances generous negative space with rhythmic repetition, a hallmark of early‑1980s European graphic experimentation and a striking crossover between fine art and public event design.
✨ Why It Matters
España 82 commissioned renowned artists for its host‑city posters, creating a rare dialogue between contemporary art and global sport. Within that suite, the Oviedo design is prized for its clear Pol Bury authorship and gallery‑ready restraint at an impressive size. Collectors value its crossover appeal—football ephemera, Spanish design, and kinetic/Op art—and examples are seen less often than the main tournament poster. For curators, it’s a crisp case study in how optical vibration and fragmentation can energize institutional graphics without sacrificing clarity.
