Vintage Barcelona Olympic Poster, Athletics in mosaic by Carlos Rolando, 1992, XXV Olympiad, post modern, sport wall art 1990s This is an Olympic poster from 1992 from the Barcelona Olympics by Carlos Rolando depicting a classical Greek Olympic athletics runner in mosaic competing in a track event. Ever since the first Games of the modern era in Athens in 1896, posters have played an important part in the popularisation of the Olympics. They have also served, once every four years, to identify both the host city & a particular aesthetic linked to the global image of the Games of that year. Bearing this history in mind, COOB'92 developed a highly ambitious project, which involved 58 different posters grouped in four collections: the official Olympic posters, the painters' posters, the designers' posters & the photographic sports posters. For the collection of designers' posters, the leading Spanish design companies & institutions selected eighteen artists who were representative of the different trends in vogue in Barcelona, Catalonia & the rest of Spain. 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.
