Original Vintage Olympic Spanish Barcelona 1992 Cycling Poster road race track velodrome bicycle cycle Olympiad sport wall art 1990s This is a beautiful original 1990s design Cycling poster from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics designed by Addison & sponsored by Telefonica. It shows a team of track cyclists in the world velodrome. This photographic poster is one of the twenty-five Olympic & three demonstration sports which was entrusted to the design studio, which proposed integrating archive photographs of the sports with NASA images of the planet Earth to emphasise the universal nature of the event. The Earth appeared as the only playing ground & the competitor's performance occupied centre stage. The 1992 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXV Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event held in Barcelona, Spain from 25 July to 9 August 1992. This Olympiad was the first since the end of the Cold War, & was unaffected by boycotts for the first time since the 1972 Olympiad. The whole run of the four collections (2,940,000 units) was produced under the sponsorship of Telefónica. The telephone company also sponsored the publication of three booklets, including reproductions of the posters & biographical notes on the authors: one for the collections of official & designers' posters, another for the painters' collection & a third for the collection of sports posters. Moreover, a de luxe book containing all four collections & a brief history of Olympic poster art was published. Comité Olímpico Organizador Barcelona 92, (COOB 92) used it as a gift for VIPs. These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection. See the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking & insurance options.
