Billy Al Bengston
LA 1984 (with official COA from Olympic Committee), 1982
Offset Lithograph and lithograph on Parson's Diploma paper (hand signed), with COA from Olympic Committee & publisher
Hand signed in graphite pencil on the front. 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. Copyright 1982 Los Angeles Olympics Organizing Committee, Published by Knapp Communications Corporation

Billy Al Bengston
Based in Venice, California, Billy Al Bengston burst onto the scene in the 1950s with his passion for motorcycle racing and art. Bengston was discharged from the California College of Arts and Crafts in 1955 for depleting the clay supply. Following this exit, he enrolled at the Otis Art Institute to study under Peter Voulkos whom he later named as a significant influence, along with Richard Diebenkorn. Bengston found immediate success in the Los Angeles art scene, enjoying multiple solo shows at Ferus Gallery and a 1968 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His artistic output, mainly sculpture and painting, is informed by a variety of influences that range from his love of motorcycles and car-detailing techniques to recurring geometric shapes similar to those of Jasper Johns. Art historian Andrew Perchuck included Bengston among the "West Coast artists, including Robert Irwin and Ken Price, who were instrumental in redefining the terms of artistic identity in the early 60s by insisting that sub-cultural affinities and leisure-time activities (surfing, car customizing) were at the foundation of their artistic personas."
