Excellent group lot of five official color posters for the Munich 1972 Summer Olympics by Otl Aicher, the designer and director of the Olympic visual conception commission, each approximately 23.25 x 33, with each poster featuring the Olympic rings and Munich blue solar (‘Bright Sun’) logo. Poster images include: a leaping female gymnast with crossed arms against a blue and bright green background; a tightly packed group of sailboats competing above turquoise water and under gray sky, with lower left reading, “Kiel, 1972,” the site of the Munich sailing competitions; the looming Olympiaturm in Olympic Park as seen through the netting of the Olympiastadion tent; a line of four runners leaping over a hurdle against a bright green background; and a rider and horse leaping together during an equestrian event. Rolled and in overall very good to fine condition, with some creasing, and a partially erased pencil line on the gymnastics poster.
