Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the publisher on Olympic Committee letterhead. 36 × 24 inches Unframed This is one of 750 hand signed offset lithograph posters, published in 1982 to celebrate the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics - though fewer than 200 signed prints are said to remain.. The Olympic Committee commissioned 15 nationally known artists, including to create unique designs to promote the event. As one of the California-based artists chosen, this was Billy Al Bengtson's contribution to the portfolio. 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.” This work 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 with colophon and authenticity documentation. All of the works in the Olympic portfolio, including this Bengtson lithograph, are unnumbered.
