Original Vintage Olympic Spanish Barcelona 1992 Fencing Poster Swimming Track and Field Shooting Equestrian Olympiad sport wall art 1990s

This is a beautiful original 1990s design Fencing poster from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics designed by Addison and sponsored by Telefonica. It shows a sparring pair of fencers, as well as other events, equestrian, swimming and shooting and Track and Field.
This photographic poster is one of the twenty-five Olympic and three demonstration sports which was entrusted to the design studio, which proposed integrating archive photographs of the sports with NASA images of the planet Earth to emphasise the universal nature of the event. The Earth appeared as the only playing ground and the competitor's performance occupied centre stage.

The 1992 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXV Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event held in Barcelona, Spain from 25 July to 9 August 1992. This Olympiad was the first since the end of the Cold War, and was unaffected by boycotts for the first time since the 1972 Olympiad.

The whole run of the four collections (2,940,000 units) was produced under the sponsorship of Telefónica. The telephone company also sponsored the publication of three booklets, including reproductions of the posters and biographical notes on the authors: one for the collections of official and designers' posters, another for the painters' collection and a third for the collection of sports posters. Moreover, a de luxe book containing all four collections and a brief history of Olympic poster art was published.
Comité Olímpico Organizador Barcelona 92, (COOB 92) used it as a gift for VIPs.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
