Description
Original Munich 1972 Olympics Wrestling vintage poster by Anonymous Artists, created for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. This striking Olympic sports poster is built around the event’s distinctive visual language—featuring a dynamic wrestling scene with bold, contemporary color impact that makes Munich 1972 poster art especially sought after by collectors of authentic Olympic memorabilia and mid-century international graphic design.
A key historical note for collectors: event art direction by Otl H. Aicher of Ulm specified that each individual sport poster starts with a photograph. The imagery was then solarized to achieve unusual, high-contrast effects, resulting in a vividly modern look that differs from typical traditional Olympic poster styles. That photographic-to-solarized transformation is part of what makes this Munich 1972 wrestling artwork so visually compelling—and so recognizable within the Games’ larger poster series.
This is an original Munich 1972 Olympic wrestling lithograph intended for display impact, and it works beautifully for a vintage Olympics collection, a German sports poster room, or a focused wall devoted to the graphic experimentation of the early 1970s.
