Original 1972 Olympic Games poster featuring ‘the Diver’ by David Hockney. The posters designed for the 1972 Munich Games are among the most arresting issued for the international sporting event. The series, which eventually totalled 35 posters, was overseen by Otl Aicher, head of the Munich Olympic Games visual design group.

Hockney’s iconic poster is probably the most famous and regarded as a classic of the genre. (And is also one of my Top Ten posters of all time !)
