Limited Edition Offset Lithograph on Parsons Diploma Parchment Paper. This is one of only 750 hand signed lithographic posters, published in 1982 to celebrate the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. The Olympic Committee commissioned 15 nationally known artists, to create unique designs to promote the event. The complete list of artists is Sam Francis, David Hockney, Richard Diebenkorn, Carlos Almaraz, Robert Rauschenberg, Jennifer Bartlett, Jonathon Borofsky, Roy Lichtenstein, April Gornik, Raymond Saunders, Martin Puryear, John Baldessari, Lynda Benglis, Billy Al Bengston and Garry Winogrand. This was Roy Lichtenstein's contribution to the portfolio. this artwork is unframed and in fine condition;
Excellent provenance as it was acquired as part of the complete portfolio of limited edition hand signed Olympic prints, all held in the original box, which we still have. Excellent condition; never framed. All of the works in this rare portfolio, including this Lichtenstein lithographic poster, are unnumbered, but published in the limited edition of 750 hand signed posters. This work, the equestrian, depicts layered images of a blue jockey riding a red horse. The artwork is signed in pencil in the lower right, border, and is marked "Reproduction from “The Red Horsemen” copyright 1975 Roy Lichtenstein, Copyright 1982 Los Angeles Olympics Organizing Committee, Published by Knapp Communications Corporation". Excellent condition; unframed. In 2017, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne Switzerland featured all 15 lithographs from this portfolio: “The 1980s were marked by non-conformism, eccentricity, audacity and joie de vivre,” say the exhibition organizers, “All these elements are clearly expressed in the stylistic vocabulary chosen by the organizers of the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, with its fun approach and acid colors.” less
