Lot of seven original color posters for the Munich 1972 Summer Olympics, including five official posters by Otl Aicher, the designer and director of the Olympic visual conception commission, and two ABC promo posters. The five Aicher posters each measure approximately 23.25 x 33, with each poster featuring the Olympic rings and Munich blue solar (‘Bright Sun’) logo. Poster images include: a bright orange wrestling scene; 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; a line of four runners leaping over a hurdle against a bright green background; a leaping female gymnast with crossed arms against a blue and bright green background; and boxers squaring off in the ring with a bright green background. The ABC posters measure 22 x 33 and feature American runners against red and green backgrounds. In overall very good to fine condition, with edgewear, light handling creases, and some tape remnants/tack holes to corners.
