Josef Albers Munich 1972 Olympic Games (Danilowitz 213), 1970 Color silkscreen on 250-gram Schöllers Hammer paper. Signed, dated and numbered 183/200 in graphite pencil on the front 40 × 25 1/2 × 3/10 inches Catalogue Raisonne Reference: Danilowitz, 213 Unframed Pencil signed and numbered from the limited edition of 200. By Josef Albers - famous color theorist and longtime influential head of the Yale University Art Department. This 1970 silkscreen was exhibited in the show "On Black Mountain: The Bauhaus Legacy in America", April 5, 2019-April 27, 2019 at the Sager Braudis Gallery in Columbia, Missouri. It is reproduced on page 8 of the exhibition catalogue. It features Albers signature ‘cinetic window’, and is an impressive piece of art and sports history. This is one of only 200 hand signed, dated and numbered prints - (NOT to be confused with the open poster edition of the same image on different paper, which, unlike the present work, only bears the artist's printed signature.) The present work was created in 1970 for the 1972 Munich Olympics. In anticipating of hosting the 1972 summer Olympics, Germany sought to create a positive image for itself.

The Munich Olympics were billed as "the happy games" - a term that would become tragically ironic. In spite of, or rather because of, the ruthless killing of Israeli athletes by terrorists during the Munich Olympics, prints like this Albers silkscreen have become a poignant symbol of the enduring power of art to bring cultures together and promote peace.
