Vintage original advertisement poster issued for the Munich Olympic Games, 1972. Artwork by David Hockney (which is dated 1970). Printed in Munich, Germany, 1972.
Hockney is famed for his depiction of swimming pools which he began painting on a visit to Los Angeles in 1964, and he painted the water surface of many pools through the rest of the 1960's. He was thus a most appropriate artist to design a poster for the swimming events at the 1972 Olympics.
