An original sports poster from the 1972 Munich Olympics series, dedicated to basketball and illustrated by Max Muhlberger. The Munich Games are known for the most visually cohesive identity in Olympic history, created under the art direction of Otl Aicher, one of the great figures of 20th-century German graphic design: pictograms, typography, colour systems and a complete poster programme.
The Games commissioned two distinct poster series: sports posters, of which this basketball edition is part, and a celebrated series of art posters by contemporary artists including David Hockney, Josef Albers and Tom Wesselmann. Muhlberger's sports posters show athletes in action in a dynamic, stylised manner, with the bold graphic confidence and chromatic clarity of the Munich identity.
Dimensions: 86 x 119 cm (34 x 47 in). Unbacked.
Sold unframed. Carefully rolled and shipped in a rigid tube.
